With 10 teams and an unusual structure (at least in Dota esports terms), the $1 million tournament has already raised some eyebrows in the MOBA community. Incidentally, it\u2019s the first tier-one tournament since the release of Patch 7.37e. So, it\u2019ll likely be somewhat of a departure from the stale 7.37d meta we witnessed since BetBoom Dacha and DreamLeague Season 24. Here are all the teams participating in Dota 2 BLAST Slam I. All of them are direct invites, as the event had no qualifiers. Team Liquid Team Falcons Team Spirit OG BetBoom Team Gaimin Gladiators HEROIC Xtreme Gaming Tundra Esports PARIVISION Dota 2 BLAST Slam I schedule Group Stage The one-day group stage had two groups of five teams fighting it out in the King of the Hill format. These are unforgiving best-of-one games, and depending on their placements, teams are directly placed into progressively higher playoff rounds. Nov. 26 Group A BetBoom Team 1-0 HEROIC Team Falcons 0-1 Xtreme Gaming PARIVISION 1-0 HEROIC BetBoom Team 1-0 Xtreme Gaming Team Falcons 1-0 PARIVISION Xtreme Gaming 1-0 HEROIC BetBoom Team 0-1 PARIVISION HEROIC 0-1 Team Falcons PARIVISION 0-1 Xtreme Gaming Team Falcons 0-1 BetBoom Team Group B Tundra Esports 1-0 OG Team Spirit 0-1 Gaimin Gladiators Team Liquid 1-0 OG Tundra Esports 1-0 Gaimin Gladiators Team Spirit 0-1 Team Liquid Gaimin Gladiators 1-0 OG Tundra Esports 1-0 Liquid OG 0-1 Team Spirit Team Liquid 1-0 Gaimin Gladiators Team Spirit 0-1 Tundra Esports Playoffs Unlike the double elimination brackets usually seen in Dota 2 esports events, BLAST Slam I has single eliminations with two best-of-three series each day from Nov. 27 to Nov. 30. The Dec. 1 grand final, however, stays true to tradition and will be a best-of-five series. All times are in Central Time (CT). Nov. 27 Round 1 9am: Team Spirit 1-2 HEROIC 12pm: Team Falcons 2-1 OG Nov. 28 Round 2 9am: PARIVISION 2-1 HEROIC 12pm: Gaimin Gladiators 2-0 Team Falcons Nov. 29 Quarterfinals 9am: Team Liquid 0-2 PARIVISION 12pm: Xtreme Gaming 2-0 Gaimin Gladiators Nov. 30 Semifinals 9am: BetBoom Team 2-0 PARIVISION 12pm: Tundra Esports 2-0 Xtreme Gaming Dec. 1 Grand final 9:30am: BetBoom Team 3-1 Tundra Esports Dota 2 BLAST Slam I: How to watch You can watch Blast Slam I on popular streaming platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and BLAST\u2019s own BLAST.tv.
