Blast Slam 5 China
BLAST Slam V is set to bring its first Dota 2 event to mainland China, with Chengdu hosting the tournament from December 5 to 7, 2025. The competition will take place at the Wuliangye Chengdu Performing Arts Centre, a venue capable of welcoming up to 12,000 attendees. This marks the beginning of a multi-year partnership between BLAST and Chengdu Television and Media Company, signaling a long-term commitment to esports in the region.
China’s esports calendar continues to expand with major tournaments, including the Asian Champions League and the Clavision Master Series, now joined by BLAST Slam V. While Chinese teams have yet to secure international titles in recent years, their growing presence and recognition highlight the country’s potential. With global organizations investing in the market, Chengdu is positioned as a key hub for competitive gaming in Asia.
Confirmed Lineup for BLAST Slam 5 in Chengdu, China
The organizers have already revealed several organizations that will take part in the Chengdu event. While roster changes are always possible before the tournament begins, these teams have secured their invitations.
Confirmed Teams
| Team | Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tundra Esports | Western Europe | Former TI champions, consistent contenders |
| HEROIC | Europe | Recently expanded into Dota 2 |

It is important to note that a direct invite does not guarantee a spot on the main stage. Under BLAST’s current structure, every roster must first compete in the group phase to reach the live arena matches in Chengdu. This system ensures that even established names must prove themselves before advancing.
With six teams already confirmed, the remaining slots will be filled through qualifiers and future announcements, keeping the final lineup competitive and diverse.
