The next big Dota 2 BLAST Slam tournament is almost here, as BLAST Slam III will be taking place between May 5-11 and will see 10 teams in attendance, each of whom will be fighting for a portion of a $1 million prize pool.

As for the format, the tournament will kick off with a group stage where the 10 teams will be seeded into two groups of five. From here, the winners of each group will get direct qualification to the playoff semi-finals, the second-placing team advances to the quarter-finals, the third-placing squad lands a round two spot, and the fourth and fifth-placing teams land in round one, where they face an instant elimination threat.
