Red Bull teams up with BLAST for CS:GO Red Bull Flick Invitational, Helsinki

Red Bull Flick, the premier 2v2 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament, has announced a partnership with BLAST, the global esports media network, for the November pro-am Red Bull Flick Invitational, Helsinki. The culmination of the 2021 circuit, the event will give the best amateur duos from over 30 countries the chance to face CS:GO legends in an epic LAN event, complemented by an unforgettable live experience for fans at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Center.
BLAST will support the global finale of Red Bull Flick as the official production partner, bringing their experience in producing top tier CS:GO events alongside Red Bull’s traditional flair and atmosphere. BLAST will produce both the physical event at the Helsinki Messukeskus and the online broadcast. Information on tickets for the event is available here.
Red Bull Flick is an amateur 2v2 CS:GO tournament, with this year’s circuit beginning in April and seeing competitors from over 30 countries take part. A unique alternative to the traditional 5v5 CS:GO format, amateur duos from across the world have fought for their chance to compete against their idols, some of the world’s best CS:GO pros, at the Red Bull Flick Invitational, Helsinki.
Red Bull Flick launched in 2019 with a local event in Turkey, but was taken to a new level in 2020 and 2021 through a futuristic narrative and eight custom maps, five unique to the tournament and three more specially designed for the playoffs. Some local LAN finals, such as in the UK, have brought this theme to the physical world as the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London, was transformed into a set inspired by the in-game Red Bull Flick maps.
This year, each participating country has produced a champion duo who will compete for a chance to face professional talent at the Red Bull Flick Invitational, Helsinki. The closed qualifier will narrow down the final competitors to eight of the best amateur duos in the world. Six of the world’s leading CS:GO organisations will make up the invited teams, including: G2, Ence, OG, BIG Academy, Team Spirit and Furia.
Leo Matlock, VP of Commercial at BLAST, said: “Red Bull are a hugely prestigious brand with a great history within esports and we’re delighted to work with them and help elevate their Red Bull Invitational Helsinki event in November. Bringing the BLAST approach to production, content creation and technology – we feel we can raise the bar when it comes to the event’s viewer experience. We have a strong track record in organising leading Counter-Strike events all around the world and look forward to leveraging this knowledge to deliver another exciting format for the community to enjoy.”

Oddin.gg Officially Registered with LOTBA as a Supplier in the City of Buenos Aires

Oddin.gg has been officially registered as a supplier by the Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires (LOTBA). This authorization clears the way for Oddin.gg to provide its end-to-end esports betting ecosystem—including its Odds Feed, Risk Management, BetBuilder, Widgets, and more—to licensed operators in the City of Buenos Aires. The milestone reinforces Oddin.gg’s strategic focus on supporting partners across Latin America.
LOTBA, the regulatory authority for online gaming within the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is well known for its rigorous compliance and technical standards.

Oddin.gg’s successful registration confirms that it has met all relevant technical, financial, and compliance requirements.
