BLAST Slam IV is gearing up to be a highly awaited Dota 2 tournament following The International 2025, bringing together 12 elite teams from around the globe to compete for a $1,000,000 prize pool.
This edition of BLAST Slam is especially significant as it represents the organization’s inaugural LAN event in Singapore. Scheduled from October 14 to November 9 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the event utilizes a hybrid format that allows for both online and in-person participation. Fans will have the opportunity to witness some of the top Dota 2 players compete on one of Southeast Asia’s most prestigious stages, showcasing the game’s global appeal and competitive nature.
Dota 2 BLAST Slam IV Format and Competing Teams
BLAST Slam IV features an exciting format designed to maintain intense competition and keep audiences captivated. The tournament unfolds in three stages, combining online group matches with live playoff rounds for fairness and a thrilling buildup to the climactic grand finale in Singapore.
The tournament begins with all 12 teams competing in a round-robin format from October 14 to 19, with each match being a best-of-one. The top two teams from this initial stage secure their places in the semifinals, while teams finishing in third to eighth will proceed to the Play-In stage.
Teams that finish in the bottom four will compete in the Last Chance Playoff, where they will face elimination in best-of-three matches. Only one team from this stage will advance to the Play-In, making every match crucial.
The Play-In stage will use best-of-three matches to determine which teams progress to the main playoff bracket. Subsequently, the playoff segment transitions to a single-elimination format from November 7 to 9, generally consisting of best-of-three series, except for the grand final, which will be a best-of-five showcase.
The final three days of competition will be held in front of a live audience at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, promising to be one of the most exhilarating Dota 2 events of the year.
The roster this year includes a blend of directly invited teams and winners from regional qualifiers. Recent changes have seen MOUZ stepping in for PARIVISION and Execration taking Talon Esports’ position due to logistical adjustments.
