Tundra Esports and Team Falcons are among the 12 teams competing at the upcoming BLAST Slam VI Dota 2 event.
Taking place from February 3rd to 15th, 2026, teams will compete for a $1m (~£742,105) prize pool awarded as prize money and team earnings.
Nine of the 12 teams competing have received direct invitations to the online and offline event, with the trio of NAVI, Xtreme Gaming, and REKONIX completing the line-up after securing victory in regional qualifiers.
Tundra Esports has the opportunity to win its fifth BLAST Slam trophy, having won the second, third, fourth, and fifth editions of the event between November 2024 and December 2025. The defending BLAST Slam champions head into the event as one of the tournament contenders following a top-six finish at DreamLeague Season 27.
Team Falcons also has an impressive record at BLAST Slam events despite never securing a victory. The International 2025 winners have placed no lower than the top four at a BLAST Slam, with its best results coming at BLAST Slam III and IV in the form of two second-place finishes.
Since its inception in May 2025, Team Yandex has cemented its place as one of the world’s top Dota 2 teams with frequent appearances in the latter stages of high-profile events. The CIS roster hopes to build on its DreamLeague Season 27 victory with another strong showing in a Tier 1 tournament.
