With a $1,250,000 prize pool, the BLAST.tv Paris Major is the final one in CS:GO.
Tournament organizer BLAST has partnered with video games betting platform unikrn for a multi-year partnership that kicks off with the upcoming BLAST.tv Paris Major.
BLAST is an epicenter of action for esports fans around the world and has produced some of the most memorable moments in the history of competitive Counter-Strike play,” said unikrn CEO Justin Dellario.
Unikrn relaunched last year in December in a select few markets after its acquisition by the Entain group. It is currently available in Brazil and Canada with the exception of Ontario. Earlier this year, unikrn had also announced its partnership with Team Liquid.
“Unikrn is built for these moments, when fans are looking for the deepest and best possible experience as they root on their favorite players and teams”
As part of this partnership, unikrn will also have its own 'BLAST Picks' segment. The broadcast talent on stream will predict their winners from each day’s play. The BLAST.tv predictions will also allow the community to interact and have their say on the matches’ predictions.
Unikrn will be deeply embedded into the BLAST Paris Major fan experience with giveaways, interactive fan-led activations as well as during the official broadcast.
