First CS:GO Major announced for France with BLAST Premier
If you’ve been an avid fan of CS:GO esports, you would know a couple of things. First, France has never had a CS:GO Major. In 2023, we will be celebrating 10 years of CS:GO Majors. Lastly, BLAST Premier is arguably the best tournament organizer and provides the best viewer experience, but it has never hosted a Major.
If all these points make sense to you, then you should be very excited to know that the first CS:GO Major of 2023 will take place in France, celebrate 10 years of CS:GO Majors, and will be hosted by BLAST Premier! Here’s what we know so far about the BLAST Paris Major 2023.

First and foremost, confidence! On Twitter, BLAST said that: “BLAST.tv will be the home of the Paris Major 2023 and will be the best CSGO viewing experience of any Major. Ever.”

Robbie Douek, CEO for BLAST, said: “BLAST has always had an ambition and dream to be involved in a Major, an event that is rightly viewed as the pinnacle of esports and competitive gaming. We’ve been watching and waiting for the right moment to deliver an unforgettable Major. The time is now, with the BLAST.tv Major 2023! Over the last few years we’ve been working hard to deliver the best esports entertainment on the planet, and more recently investing in a digital platform that will allow fans to get even closer to these experiences.
Paris is the world class location to host the tournament and will precede another high profile international event in the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics. Next year marks 10 years of Majors and we are highly confident of marking this occasion by delivering the greatest Major to date for CS:GO fans to experience and enjoy. We will be working closely with Valve to ensure we meet and exceed the community’s expectations and deliver an incredible event.”
We can’t wait for the BLAST Paris Major 2023. The hype is real. Don’t forget that the IEM Rio Major 2022 starts at the end of October 2022 with the Challenger Stage, and RMR events are ongoing.
