The players, the fans, the game... We're bringing the Major for the first time to a special place where passion leads the dream. Introducing Rio 2020!

Tickets will go live tomorrow, Thursday 12th at 12:00 PM BRT
Unlike StarLadder Berlin Major, where all three stages of the championship were attended by a live audience, ESL One Rio's "New challengers" and "Legends" will be held behind closed doors. The Minor stage will run from April 26 to May 3, and the main part of the competition is scheduled for May 11-24. Valve's tournament in Rio will be the first Major for Brazil, while ESL's ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals and ESL One Belo Horizonte have already taken place twice in the country.
Recall that the last major in CS:GO was held in Berlin and was organized by StarLadder. The Born to Win managed to make it to the playoffs, where they lost in the quarterfinals to 
NRG (0 : 2). The victory went to the Danish team 
Astralis, which for the fourth time became the champion in these competitions. We believe that 
NAVI will take the team game to the highest level and win the first major! #navination
