Brazilian fans rejoice! After months of speculation ESL confirmed that Brazil would be hosting the first major of 2020. Taking place at the Jeunesse Arena, Rio de Janeiro; it will be the first major a South American country will host.
The competition will be a part of the new ESL Pro Tour- a combined tournament circuit involving both ESL and DreamHack competitions. The tour will also have $5m USD as the prize pool for the competitions.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive creators usually award two majors in a year to different organizers namely: ESL, DreamHack , Faceit or StarSeries. The qualification procedure involves 3 different stages after which the playoffs are conducted. The playoffs are scheduled to take place between 21st-24th May.
The major will also be a part of the Intel Extreme Grand Slam- a parallel competition which awards the fastest team to win 4 events conducted by ESL or DreamHack. Team Liquid are currently the reigning champions of the Grand Slam while Astralis are the defending champs of the Major.
