BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 has announced its return to Hong Kong, China.

BLAST Premier, the world’s leading esports tournament organizer, has officially announced that its highly anticipated BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 will return to Hong Kong, China, from November 8 to 15 this year.

Following the landmark success of the Hong Kong leg in 2025, this move marks a further deepening of the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Global Tour in core Asian markets.

In the 2025 season, the Hong Kong event caused a sensation with its powerful lineup of eight top teams. At that time, tickets were in high demand and millions of viewers around the world witnessed FURIA's victory over Team Falcons through multiple platforms.

This BLAST Rivals Hong Kong event will continue its high-intensity competitive framework:

• Top Teams Gather: The top 8 CS2 professional teams in the world will be invited to participate.

• Generous Prize Money: The total prize money for the tournament will remain at US$1 million, which will be shared by the winning club and the players.

• Brutal Tournament Format: The tournament adopts the classic GSL group stage combined with knockout stage format, with the grand final being a best-of-five (BO5) showdown to determine the ultimate champion.

From Fort Worth, Texas (Season 1) to Hong Kong, China (Season 2), BLAST Rivals is building a global competitive network spanning East and West.

As a regular at AsiaWorld-Expo, the event not only showcases the competitive level of top international teams, but also provides a platform for local esports enthusiasts to get up close and personal with underdog stories and legendary matches.

In November 2026, the eyes of players around the world will once again be focused on Hong Kong, China, to witness the return of CS2, this annual esports extravaganza.
