The new office will serve as BLAST’s North American hub, enabling the organization to deliver more high-profile events and content across the region while fostering deeper partnerships with U.S.-based companies and brands. The expansion will also focus on collaborating with local creators, streamers, and talent agencies to produce original content, live event appearances, and branded experiences.

“We’ve been deeply committed to the growth of esports in the U.S. for six years – hosting some of our most iconic live events here since 2019. Establishing a permanent hub here is a natural next step and also a powerful indicator of our long-term investment in the market. We have some incredible live events coming up across North America this year and are excited to continue to advocate this unmatched fandom and to work with national and local partners and brands, creating a positive impact everywhere we are. This move further adds to our global expansion efforts in 2025, with offices opening in India and the U.S. this year.”
