In January 2024, the esports landscape in Copenhagen will buzz with excitement as BLAST joins forces with the much-anticipated Copenhagen Gaming Week. As the official tournament partner for the Esports Arena, BLAST plans to infuse the event with their well-known esports expertise.
Denmark’s latest international festival, Copenhagen Gaming Week, promises to be a haven for gamers and esports aficionados. Whether you’re into cutting-edge tech, nostalgic retro gaming, or the latest gaming trends, there’s something for everyone. The event aims to create a melting pot for like-minded individuals, forming an ever-growing community of passionate gamers.
BLAST, with its track record of hosting world-class esports tournaments, brings the global Counter-Strike 2 tournament to the gaming week’s esports arena. The company, which recently grabbed headlines for their BLAST.tv Major in Paris for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, has been actively increasing Copenhagen’s profile in the esports arena. In 2023 alone, Copenhagen will host multiple large-scale events thanks to collaborations with big players like Ubisoft, Epic Games, and Valve.
Copenhagen Gaming Week is set to feature a Counter-Strike 2 tournament. This will be no ordinary competition, as BLAST’s top-tier technology and tournament expertise will be at the forefront. There’s excitement in the air as local and regional teams await details on an online pre-tournament for a shot at competing alongside elite teams.
James Woollard, BLAST’s Head of Commercial, expressed his enthusiasm: “BLAST takes great pride in powering Copenhagen Gaming Week’s mission to establish an esports tournament providing more opportunities to the growing local scene in Denmark while offering fans next level entertainment. Together, we’re poised to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans and teams alike, by bringing our unique approach to fan-first production and adrenaline-fueled live events. We have been bringing tier one esports events to Copenhagen since 2017 and are delighted to be able to bring more CS2 to the world outside of our BLAST Premier ecosystem.”
Kevin Thyge Helsinghof of Bellagroup also shared his excitement, noting the collaborative spirit: “We are thrilled to welcome BLAST on board as a partner at Copenhagen Gaming Week. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with such a strong ally, and we’re enthusiastic about delivering a Danish-rooted tournament that unites players, fans, and communities in Bella Arena, which is now taking the next step as an international esports hub.”
Copenhagen Gaming Week, happening at Bella Center Copenhagen and Bella Arena from January 12-14, 2024, promises to share more details soon. Meanwhile, those eager to attend can grab their tickets online.
