BLAST Slam III Schedule & Format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BLAST Slam III runs from May 5-11, 2025, at the BLAST Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tournament will unfold across two stages, Group and Playoffs, with 10 pro Dota 2 teams battling for the lion\u2019s share of the prize pool and bragging rights ahead of the Esports World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Group Stage (May 5) will see teams split equally into two round-robin groups of five, competing in intense Bo1 matchups. Each team\u2019s performance will determine how they are seeded in the single-elimination Playoffs bracket (May 6-11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group Stage winners will skip the queue and go to the Semifinals, while the runner-ups will seed into the Quarterfinals. The 3rd- and 4th-5th place finishers will start in Round 2 and Round 1, respectively. All the Playoffs games will be played as best-of-three, culminating with a best-of-five Grand Finals to crown the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
