Rumor: BLAST may hold a Dota 2 tournament in the Fearless Draft format

Tournament operator BLAST intends to continue holding a series of Dota 2 championships in 2027. This was reported by the “Everything About Cybersport” Telegram channel.

According to the source, BLAST has already shared preliminary plans for the next season with a number of esports clubs. In addition, organizers can test the Fearless Draft system. With this format, the team will not be able to re-select a hero that they have already used within the series.

BLAST also plans to increase the number of participants in regional qualifiers. At the time of publication of the material, the tournament operator had not officially confirmed this information.

Previously, BLAST announced the details of BLAST Slam VIII: the tournament will be held without best-of-1 matches, the prize fund will be $750 thousand, and the number of participants will increase to 16 teams. Read more about this in the material.
