BLAST Pro Series was an international live Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament.[1][2] The tournament brought together six of the best teams in the world on a fast 2-day tournament. The event had rotating locations as it happened in different 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]
