The event ran from February 3 to February 15, 2026, bringing together 12 teams to compete for a US$1 million prize pool across online stages and an offline playoff finish at BLAST Studios in Malta.
By the time the tournament wrapped up, Team Liquid had emerged as champions after defeating Natus Vincere in the grand final. With the event now in the books, the focus shifts from pre-tournament betting and predictions to the results, format, prize money and standout teams from BLAST Slam VI.

What is the Dota 2 BLAST Slam?
BLAST Slam is BLAST’s Dota 2 tournament series, created as part of the organiser’s move into more esports titles beyond Counter-Strike 2. The events are built around strong team fields, big prize pools and a polished broadcast feel, which has helped the series carve out a place on the Dota 2 calendar.
BLAST Slam VI followed that same model in February 2026, combining a full round-robin group stage with knockout play and a best-of-five playoff format. By the end of it all, Team Liquid were the team left standing after a title-winning run through the event.
