BLAST Premier Teams Up with EPOS | Sennheiser
Counter-Strike is one of the biggest games in all esports when it comes to pulse-pounding, heart-stopping action. When watching or playing, some sounds are iconic to the game. “Rush B!” “I molly ramp!” and “Planting” are cues we’re all familiar with.
When playing the best games on the planet at the highest level, we need the best audio equipment possible. On that note, we learned that EPOS and their EPOS | Sennheiser brand is coming together with leading esports and entertainment company, BLAST Premier!
That’s right, get ready, the BLAST Premier Spring Series is on the way!
What Is the Blast Premier Series?
That’s right, there’s an awesome series of CS:GO matches coming, in the form of the BLAST Premier. This kicked off back in January, with 12 of the world’s best CS:GO teams courtesy of BLAST Premier. Astralis, 100 Thieves, Evil Geniuses and more are competing for three weeks at 3 Mills Studio in London for a share of the $4.25 million prize pool.
But what’s awesome esports without equal audio? That’s where EPOS and BLAST Premier come in. This partnership has a new project to mark the beginning of the team-up. The new project, Mic’D Up, will give fans all over the world a unique insight into how these elite-level players communicate.

To do all this with a world-renowned audio specialist who is investing in their gaming products is very exciting. We look very much forward to working closely with EPOS.”
