BLAST Premier has partnered with Counter-Strike skin trading site Tradeit.gg ahead for the 2024 season.

As the Official Skin Trading Partner of BLAST Premier, Tradeit.gg will be implemented across BLAST Premier, including physical and digital broadcast integration as well as dedicated broadcast desk segments and social campaigns across BLAST channels. Tradeit.gg will also have access to booth space for in-person activations at BLAST’s arena events throughout the year.

The BLAST community can also expect skin giveaways hosted by Tradeit.gg running alongside Premier events throughout the year with the chance to win some of Counter-Strike's most popular skins. 

Alexander Lewin, VP of Distribution and Programming for BLAST, said: “It’s a fantastic time for BLAST Premier after we recently announced the expansion into a 16 team tournament format and now we are delighted to be bringing on board a popular skin trading site like Tradeit.gg for 2024.

We look forward to a future where our combined efforts will set new standards in the esports world, demonstrating the power of collaboration in driving forward the industry.”

Since their first implementation into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2013, tradable skins have become a core part of the game series, allowing players to own and experience the game with unique designs for their weapons. Skin’s have only grown in popularity over the years and with the launch of Counter-Strike 2, many designs have received changes.
