Das 15. Major in der Geschichte von Counter-Strike: Global Offensive wird in Berlin abgehalten. Diese Tatsache wurde heute offiziell bestätigt.

Erstmalig StarLadder

Das ist das erste von Valve gesponserte Turnier, das StarLadder ausrichten wird. In den vergangenen Jahren hatten Turnierorganisatoren wie ESL, ELEAGUE, PGL und FACEIT die Möglichkeit, Majors in verschiedenen Reisezielen auf der ganzen Welt wie Katowice, London, Boston, Atlanta und Krakau zu veranstalten. StarLadder ist bekannt für seine StarSeries-Events, die in der Regel in der Ukraine veranstaltet werden und mit Best-of-Three Gruppenphasen und Playoff-Klammern ausgestattet sind.
