FACEIT Major 2018

CS2 / News / 9 September 2018 — 14:59

The second Major of the year will take place between September 12 and 23. London will host the event, and 16 teams will play for $1,000,000.

The tournament will be held in two phases: a group stage and the playoffs. At the first stage of the competition, just like during ELEAGUE Boston Major, we will see the Swiss system in action, but with some adjustments compared to its usual setup. So, all matches will feature Bo1, except for the fifth round, where we will see best of 3.

Recall that the number of slots at the "New Challengers" of the next major was also changed. Now the teams that completed the group stage with a score of 0-3, cannot play at the preliminary stage of the major and are forced to make their way through Minor. Starting from the third round, we will see the Buchholz system.

As for the playoffs, here we see a classic bracket of single elimination, best of 3. We are sure that our guys will have time to gain the best shape to raise the championship cup over their heads at FACEIT Major 2018! #gonavi
