The agreement will see EFM manage end to end transport of equipment, staging, and production infrastructure across more than 20 global events annually, including studios, fan zones, and broadcast operations.

Kicking off with the CS2 BLAST Open Rotterdam in March 2026, EFM will handle 18 tonnes of air freight per event, multi container sea freight, road transport, server farms, broadcast systems, truss, LED setups, and competition tech kits tailored for esports.

“EFM is the gold standard in event logistics,” said James Brown, BLAST Commercial Director. “This partnership strengthens the operational backbone of what makes BLAST events world-class.” EFM Global VP Events Marcel Meyer added: “Esports fuses elite sport, broadcast, and touring production, driving enormous technical expectations.”

Branding, Content, and Operational Integration

EFM’s logos will feature digitally on broadcasts and physically in venues, alongside social campaigns, branded segments, and bespoke content series revealing the logistics magic behind Tier 1 events including a dedicated aftermovie.

With 25 years in live events, EFM ensures seamless global movement for BLAST’s arena tours.

BLAST’s Expansive 2026 Calendar and Partnerships

BLAST, hosting for Valve (CS2, Dota 2), Epic (Fortnite), Supercell (Brawl Stars), Ubisoft (Rainbow Six), and Psyonix (Rocket League), recently appointed ex-Activision Blizzard exec Steve Rossi as SVP Brand Partnerships.

Rivals Season 2 CS heads to Hong Kong, building on last year’s ‘m’ mark milestone. EFM joins Corpay, BetBoom, and Singapore Tourism Board in BLAST’s growing portfolio, fueling expansions in the US, India, and Malta.

This alliance elevates BLAST’s global production standards, mixing logistics prowess with fan focused innovation.
