BLAST Premier revises prize pool distribution to greater benefit organisations

Danish tournament organiser BLAST has restructured its financial structure to greater benefit its partner organisations for BLAST Premier.

The company cites COVID-19’s impact on the esports industry as the reason behind the revision, hoping that the change “will help provide a more sustainable model for the broader industry.”

BLAST has made the changes in agreement with its partner teams for its CS:GO circuit, though the specific figures have not been disclosed to Esports Insider at the time of writing. Participation fees paid to organisations will be increased and the prize money will be reduced, though the total sum paid by BLAST will remain the same.
