Additionally, Polymarket will enjoy significant visibility during live broadcasts, arena events, and digital content, with its branding prominently displayed through digital integrations and physical prints. The partnership will also focus on enhancing fan experiences, including the Polymarket Fancam, and will provide opportunities for creators and streamers to engage with audiences at arena events through dedicated streaming booths. The BLAST Premier 2026 schedule now includes locations such as Rotterdam, Fort Worth, and Hong Kong, along with the BLAST Slam circuit. The latest Dota 2 event, BLAST Slam VI in Malta, commenced on February 3 and will run until February 15.
