BLAST Premier adds Kick stream until the rest of 2024

BLAST Premier signed a non-exclusive deal with streaming platform Kick for the remainder of the 2024 CS2 season.

With this deal, CS2 fans can now watch BLAST Premier matches on Twitch, YouTube, BLAST.tv, and Kick. Unlike Twitch, however, there's only one BLAST Premier channel available at the moment. This isn't a problem, though, as most BLAST Premier tournaments don't have simultaneous matches.

According to BLAST, they're available in 150+ territories and 28 languages. The news of the Kick deal came on the same day the BLAST Premier Fall Groups kicked off. The tournament will see six teams qualifying for the BLAST Premier Fall Finals between July 29 and Aug. 4.

To watch BLAST CS2 matches on Kick, all that fans have to do is access the channel on the streaming platform. The matches can be watched for free in 1080p @ 60FPS just like Twitch, but for now, there's no option to subscribe to the channel. All that fans can do now is follow it.

"We’re kicking off the start of the second half of the season and we are delighted to bring Kick onboard, adding another viewing option for BLAST and Counter-Strike fans around the world," BLAST's senior vice president of commercial revenue Alexander Lewin said.

"In a short time, Kick has already contributed a great deal to the global growth of streaming viewership and we can’t wait to see BLAST Premier integrated onto their platform. On top of our existing broadcast distribution network, Kick will offer a new route for fans to experience BLAST Premier."

While BLAST Premier Fall Groups will conclude shortly, there will be other CS2 tournaments. The tournament organizer is hosting the Fall Showdown between Aug. 21 to 25, the Fall Final between Sept. 25 to 29, and the World Final at the end of the year.

That's all for now. Stay tuned to esports.gg for more CS2 news.
