BLAST Pro Series Türkiye official announcement Finn Karrigan Andersen

Finn “Karrigan” Andersen, In-game Leader of the world’s number 1 FaZe Clan, will be on stage in Istanbul, and he looks forward to being a part of the tournament once again:

– The BLAST Pro Series is one of the most exciting events I’ve ever been to. It’s action-packed world-class entertainment from the doors open to the confetti bonanza when the trophy is lifted. When we played in Copenhagen, we were blown away by the set-up and the way it was all set up to engage the audience. They created an insane atmosphere, and should I ever go to watch a live tournament as a fan, BLAST would certainly be up there among the favorites. It’s intense, and I want to lift that Golden A Trophy in Istanbul, Karrigan comments.

Winning the Major was the biggest thing in my life, but being able to go and participate in an event like BLAST Pro Series in the country of my parents… It will be an amazing experience, and we will do everything to make the fans proud. We have never been to BLAST before, but from everything we’ve seen and heard it’s the best event you can imagine and we can’t wait to play on that stage in front of that audience!

This organization, where thousands of esports fans will feel alive in a place and will follow online hundreds of thousands and even millions of players from Twitch TV broadcasts.
