BLAST Slam IV action kicks off with an online stage featuring all 12 teams, kicking off on October 14th and deciding our Singapore-bound teams by October 19th.

SEA fans will surely be rooting for Host Region invitee’s Talon Esports who will hope to hoist the Slam trophy in front of the Singaporean crowd.
Following last year’s sold-out BLAST Premier World Final 2024, which saw more than 10,000 fans pack Resorts World Convention Centre, BLAST returns to the Lion City for another landmark esports spectacle. This November’s Dota Slam marks the first of five major arena esports events to be hosted in Singapore under the new multi-year deal between BLAST and STB, further strengthening Singapore’s reputation as one of Asia’s leading esports and live entertainment destinations.
With Singapore joining BLAST’s global calendar alongside London, Lyon, Austin, Hong Kong, and Rio, the BLAST Dota Slam Singapore will showcase world-class production, immersive fan experiences, and top-tier competition – all set against one of the most passionate esports backdrops in the world.
