BLAST Open Ulaanbaatar 2027 announced

Tournament operator BLAST and the Mongolian Esports Association (MESA) have announced a partnership to host a big international Counter-Strike 2 tournament next year in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The statement was published on BLAST's official website.

Mongolia has already shown the world what its Counter-Strike community is capable of with sold-out arenas, all-night watch parties, over five per cent of the Mongolian population tuning into previous BLAST broadcasts and a Major final run few saw coming. This partnership with MESA is about giving that momentum a permanent home. The partnership between BLAST and MESA is a long-term commitment to Central Asia, and proof that Ulaanbaatar has earned its place among the destinations shaping where esport goes next.

BLAST Open Ulaanbaatar 2027 will be held from May 10th to 23rd, 2027, at Steppe Arena. The event will feature a total prize pool of $1.25 million (including a half-million dollar player share). The prize pool will be split among 16 squads.
