CS: GO tournaments (CS:
GO): schedule 2020, matches, teams
Counter Strike is one of the most famous and popular shooters in
esports. Broadcasts of major CS: GO tournaments collect a huge number of
viewers around the world, and their prize pools are in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
During its existence, CS: GO has been an e-sports discipline in more
than ten championships of various levels. Valve's version of Global Offensive
is a fresh sip. It was created in collaboration with top players, so from the
very beginning it was presented as a new discipline of eSports.
How CS: GO tournaments
appeared
Now we can easily open the stream of the desired match and watch the CS:
GO tournament online, make predictions, place bets on the victory of our
favorite team, and be impressed by the large prize pool. However, things were
not so smooth at the inception of the esports game.
The very first tournaments were not very comfortable competitions in computer clubs. The guys huddled in small rooms, and the battle process was not as colorful as we are used to seeing. And only after a while sponsors appeared, multimillion-dollar contracts began to be concluded, and KS: GO ceased to be just a fun pastime. It is worth remembering at least the WESG2016 tournament, which took place in the Middle Kingdom. More than $ 1.5 million were drawn on it.
Today, the shooter from Valve provides a lot of opportunities: thanks to
it, careers are worth, they make fortunes. And not only players, but also fans
can make financial profit from esports - by making forecasts and bets.
What matches can you
watch: types of tournaments in CS: GO
There are quite a few tournaments presented on the CS: GO esports scene.
They are almost always related to each other, but some of the events of the
game are held separately from the main tournament bracket. The list of all
types of matches is long, the most basic are:
- major,
- minor,
- regular leagues,
- Intel Grand Slam.
Of course, the events are not similar to each other, they differ in
terms of conditions, amount of draws, selection system. That is why it is
important to consider them in more detail.
Regular league tournaments
If you love hockey or football, you will immediately understand that
regular league tournaments are reminiscent of the NHL and the Premier League.
CS: GO has its own leagues for teams of different levels, for example, ESL.
FPL.
What are these events for? It's simple: to find and select the best
teams that will compete in the season finale.
To get to the finals, teams need to go through the competition online,
get the top results. The latter are registered in the standings. As a result,
statistics determine the best teams that can participate in the final matches.
Minor tournaments
These tournaments are a kind of straw in big esports for teams from the
top ten of the world ranking. They have their own peculiarity: during such
events, there is no huge prize pool, but the teams get the right to participate
in a major major tournament, where $ 1 million is drawn.
Minors are held in various cities and countries during a specific
period. After that, the best of the best teams meet at the key event of the year
- the Major.
Major tournaments
A large-scale and cool tournament
that many professional players and every esports organization dream of winning.
The dates of their holding are always determined long before the start, and the
prize funds significantly exceed the winnings of other competitions.
As mentioned earlier, teams that have passed the Minors can get to the
Majors. However, there are exceptions: if the team receives a special
invitation, it can bypass minor competitions.
The desire of teams to get into the majors can be easily explained: they
need money and popularity. It is also due to the fact that these official CS:
GO tournaments allow you to get a lot of rating points.
Intel Grand Slam tournaments
These are events organized by the well-known manufacturer Intel. These include
Elite ESL One, IEM, etc.
The teams are interested in them, because large sums are played at
tournaments.
It's hard to get on them: after passing the closed qualifications or
receiving a special offer.
