BLAST Pro Series was an international Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament.[1][2] The tournament brought together six teams in a shortened two-day tournament format. The event rotated locations in cities around the world. The Danish esports organisation, RFRSH Entertainment, created the tournament in 2017.[3]
The tournament series was discontinued in favor of the league-style BLAST Premier, which began in early 2020.[4][5]
