Massive crowds and record views make Slam IV truly unforgettable

BLAST Slam IV, held at Singapore Indoor Stadium, set a new benchmark for total engagement: fans logged over 6.8 million hours watched, making it the most-watched event in the Slam series so far.

The tournament featured 12 teams — up from 10 in previous editions — and, for the first time, incorporated regional qualifiers before the LAN finals. The grand final saw Tundra Esports clutch a dramatic 3–2 victory over Team Falcons, rallying from behind to take the title and the US$300,000 prize.  

The event crushed Slam’s all-time watch-hour record, even if average viewership settled around 95,000 per match, per Esports Charts. But the real story was the peak — the Grand Final skyrocketed to 289,202 concurrent viewers, the highest the series has ever hit. 

The offline hype matched the online surge. More than 5,000 fans packed the arena, while the broadcast went worldwide across 50 territories in 15 languages, stacking up over 21.9 million global views. It was a full-scale esports moment — massive numbers, massive energy.
