Which BLAST esports tournaments have been held in Singapore before?

This upcoming event marks BLAST’s third major venture into the region, following a long-term commitment to delivering premium esports experiences to local and international fans. The journey began with the sold-out BLAST Premier World Final 2024, marking the company’s spectacular debut in Southeast Asia. This was followed by the BLAST Slam IV, an event that further proved the city’s capability to host large-scale, high-energy arena competitions.
