BLAST Pro Series is the world’s most exciting live esports tournament. All your favorite teams battle it out live on stage. A format that delivers the best experience for the players, the sport and the audience whether watched at home or in the buzzing arena. This is world-class live entertainment, like you have never seen it before.
The Series season spans eight international Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments, with each one featuring a $250K USD prize pool.
Astralis is the favorite to win at -159 (bet $15.90 to win $10 with that bet amount refunded if it's a winner), followed by Liquid at +467 and MIBR +592. +467 means you would bet $10 to win $46.70.
“Having announced the São Paulo tournament in late January, we are grateful that the fans embraced us so quickly, and thrilled that we could welcome fantastic global and local partners from a range of exciting industries as we showcase the unique, mass appeal of esports,” said Leo Matlock, head of commercial solutions at RFRSH Entertainment.
“We bring the biggest show and the best players in the world to Brazil, and we are extremely proud to present the tournament together with our partners,” he added. “Both our local partners of BLAST Pro Series São Paulo and the global series partners have been very supportive and all share our ambition to excite and entertain the audience with a true world-class product.”
