Valve Awards Next Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major To ELeague

Valve Software has awarded the next Counter-strike: Global Offensive major championship to ELeague, a major coup for the Turner Sports-WME-IMG joint venture. The major tournament is scheduled for Jan. 22-29 in Atlanta, with the early rounds set for ELeague Arena at Turner Studios and the weekend rounds set for Fox Theatre. The grand finale will air on TBS and simulcast on Twitch. The tournament will carry a $1M prize pool. The top eight teams from prior majors will be entered into the 16-team field, with the remaining teams being decided by a qualifier round. Valve, the owner of the popular first-person shooter title, grants licenses to many CS:GO tournaments around the world but has only run nine majors so far.
