The brief

From online qualifier to the Dokomi stage

In 2026 Supercell introduced the Brawl Stars Challengers, an official regional stage in twelve regions worldwide. DACH needed a tournament that is open to everyone, builds excitement over several weeks and ends with a final that gives teams and community a real stage.

Commissioned by BLAST and in cooperation with Supercell, we designed and delivered the tournament end to end, at the same scope as the R6 Central Combine for Ubisoft.
