Project EVERSIO takes BLAST Roots S3 title as Malta's esports scene gains momentum

Project EVERSIO has been crowned champion of the BLAST Roots S3 tournament, taking the title after a dominant run. The local esports team secured first place ahead of CEOE6PO, who finished second.

GamingMalta, the foundation tasked with promoting Malta’s gaming sector, congratulated the winners. “We’re proud to continue supporting events like BLAST Roots and the growth of Malta’s grassroots esports scene,” the foundation said in a statement. “We look forward to seeing what’s next for local talent.” The tournament is part of BLAST Roots, a series aimed at developing competitive esports at the grassroots level. Malta has been positioning itsle as a hub for the wider gaming industry, and competitive gaming is increasingly seen as part of that ecosystem.

For Malta’s business community, the victory underscores the maturation of the local esports scene. With established iGaming operators and a growing talent pool, the islands are building a reputation not just for regulated betting but for competitive gaming production and participation.

That shift could open new revenue streams. Esports tournaments attract sponsorship, media rights, and tourism. A local champion strengthens the case for international event organiers to look at Malta as a destination for future competitions.

GamingMalta has been active in supporting such initiatives. The foundation’s backing of BLAST Roots signals a strategic bet on esports as a pillar of Malta’s gaming economy.

The performance of Project EVERSIO and CEOE6PO shows that local teams can compete at a professional level. For investors and businesses eyeing the gaming space, the return on such grassroots investment is becoming visible.
