BLAST Slam VI Qualifiers: Schedule, Standings, Results

BLAST Slam VI is the sixth event in the BLAST Slam Dota 2 series, scheduled to take place from February 3 to 15, 2026, in Malta, with the playoffs hosted at the BLAST Studio / BLAST Arena in Attard. It will be one of the first major tournaments of the new season, continuing BLAST’s tradition of million-dollar events on the professional Dota 2 scene. The tournament will feature 12 top-level teams, including directly invited squads as well as teams that qualified through regional competitions. All participants will compete for a total $1,000,000 USD prize pool.

The format begins with a round-robin group stage played in best-of-1 matches. The top two teams advance directly to the semifinals, teams placing 3rd–8th move on to the Play-In stage, while teams ranked 9th–12th enter the Last Chance Playoffs, where they fight for survival in best-of-3 series. The playoffs will follow a single-elimination format: all matches leading up to the grand final will be played as best-of-3, while the grand final itself will be a best-of-5. This structure ensures a fast-paced and highly competitive tournament, where every match can be decisive.
