Eight teams will compete for a $1 million prize pool: Team Vitality, FURIA, NAVI, Astralis, G2, FaZe, GamerLegion and FUT.
BLAST previously held the BLAST.tv Austin Major. Dickies Arena was also the site of the Fortnite Championship Series Global Championship and the Rocket League World Championship in 2024. Angelou Economics reported that the BLAST.tv The Austin Major won by Vitality generated more than $102 million in total economic impact.
This year’s competition will begin with group stages before the final three days of competition take place in front of a live audience.
