We had no downtime between BLAST Slam VI and DreamLeague Season 28, but nonetheless, the meta recap is in order. Let’s check the five most popular picks during BLAST Slam VI and how they performed.

Tundra Esports finally dropped the ball and Team Liquid took the opportunity to become the BLAST Slam VI Champions. Liquid faced Natus Vincere in the Grand Final after a series of best-of-5 (BO5) matches in the Playoffs.

The ESL Pro Tour is officially back in 2026 and DreamLeague Season 28 marks the first step of the series. Sixteen teams will battle for a share of a million dollar prize over three stages that will go across two weeks.

The year is just getting started, but Valve has already revealed the dates for each stage of The International 2026. This year, the tournament will return to Shanghai, which previously hosted TI in 2019.

After a long year of dominance, for the first time, Tundra Esports and Team Falcons did not get seeded in the BLAST Slam VI Playoffs. Right after failing to get seeded Tundra also lost against Heroic in the Play-In.

After a brief window where cores were the main focus of the meta, the FISSURE Universe Episode Meta Recap 8 brings back the support season. We will take a quick look at the most picked heroes in the main event, how they performed and what their performances might mean.
