BLAST Titans will give more opportunities to female Apex Legends players

Esports tournament organiser BLAST today announced the details of BLAST Titans, its first foray into Apex Legends esports. Best known for its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive competitions, BLAST has also experimented with tournaments in Valorant, Fortnite, and Dota 2 in the past year.

BLAST has worked with EA to host a two-weekend tournament during the ALGS' off-season period, before the flagship series starts again in September. BLAST Titans will see 40 European teams compete in July and August, starting with a double elimination bracket which will presumably run similarly to the preliminary rounds of the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational which was hosted in Kraków, Poland in 2019. The second weekend is fully under wraps at the moment, but BLAST is using the two-week format as a way of championing diversity in the Apex Legends esports scene.

The Loadout spoke exclusively with Leo Matlock, VP of commercial at BLAST, who revealed that the tournament would be an opportunity to showcase a diverse roster of high-level Apex Legends players through the open qualification and ten invited "wildcard" teams.
