BLAST Rising, which is an online CS:GO tournament series organized by BLAST, recently unveiled it was expanding into Latin America. As a result of this deal, the third BLAST Rising tournament of 2021 will feature 16 Latin American teams competing for a prize pool of $15,000.
“After the success of the first two European-based BLAST Rising tournaments, we’re delighted to be able to expand into the LATAM region and give teams in South America a platform to compete and impress,” said Andrew Haworth, the Commissioner for BLAST Premier and Director of Operations & Production at BLAST, in a press release. “We’ve seen in the past that when teams succeed in this event the opportunities in BLAST Premier and other tier one tournaments will follow. We witnessed this with a number of teams over the last 12 months including Copenhagen Flames and Endpoint. The LATAM region has some of the most talented and passionate players in the world and we’re excited at the prospect of increasing opportunities for teams to compete and develop.”
This event was organized by Fantasyexpo, which is a licensee for Blast Premier’s Polish broadcasting rights. The tournament series officially began on November 30th and runs through the 12th of December.
