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

BLAST Slam VI runs from Feb. 3\u201315, 2026, initially taking place online (Group Stage and Play-Ins) and later culminating in front of a live audience at the BLAST Arena Studios in Attard, Malta (Playoffs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Group Stage (Feb. 3\u20135)<\/strong> follows a single round-robin format, with 12 Dota 2 pro teams playing best-of-ones against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams placed 1st\u20132nd receive a bye directly to the Playoff Semifinals, while those placed 3rd\u20138th move into the Play-Ins (Feb. 6\u20138)<\/strong>. The remaining 9th\u201312th place teams drop into the Last Chance Playoff bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher-seeded teams (3rd\u20136th) will face lower-seeded teams or the Last Chance winners. The victors will claim the remaining Playoff spots, and all remaining competitors will be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Playoffs (Feb. 13\u201315)<\/strong> run as a single-elimination bracket. All games will be played as a best-of-three series, except the Grand Final, which is a best-of-five. From that point on, it\u2019s a straight all-or-nothing brawl for the BLAST Slam VI title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
