BLAST did not rule out the appearance of a live audience at the Challengers and Legends stages as part of BLAST Paris Major 2023
Tour operator BLAST did not rule out the appearance of a live audience at the Challengers and Legends stages as part of the upcoming BLAST Paris Major 2023. During a press conference at the Eiffel Tower, the organizers noted that they could allow spectators to the stands, as was the case at the last IEM Rio Major 2022. However, BLAST is currently focused on creating the best possible playoff experience at the Accor Arena.
The organizers also revealed the start date for ticket sales for the event. Fans who register on BLAST.tv will receive exclusive early ticket access starting Monday, January 23rd. Tickets will go on sale to the general public a little later - on January 26.
As a reminder, during the press conference, the tournament operator BLAST presented the cities that will host regional RMR tournaments. The European RMR tournament will take place April 3-9 in Copenhagen, while the American and Asian championships will take place on the same dates in Monterrey and Ulaanbaatar, respectively.
BLAST will be the organizer of the European championship. The American RMR tournament will be hosted by Liga Ace, while the Asia RMR tournament will be hosted by tournament operator MESA.
Specific dates for open qualifiers have not yet been determined, but the organizers will try to approve the calendar as soon as possible.
