The CS:GO Majors are coming to London

FACEIT are hosting the first UK-based CS:GO Major in London – with a $1 million prize pool. 

Previously, FACEIT – creators of the Esports Championship Series – helped organise the open qualifier rounds for CS:GO Majors. However, this is the first year they will run the whole tournament solo.

We look forward to seeing everyone there in September.”
