StarLadder Budapest Major Coverage Hub
Budapest, Hungary
The host city of Budapest, Hungary, is the capital and most populous city of Hungary, home to over 1.5 million people. The city is no stranger to Counter-Strike events, having hosted the V4 Future Sports Festival in 2018 and 2019, as well as StarLadder StarSeries Fall earlier in the year.
The city of Budapest itself has a long and storied history spanning nearly 2,000 years, with the first major settlement in the area having been established by the Romans. Budapest is now one of the largest cities in the European Union, and stands out as a cultural hub in Central Europe, home to dozens of museums, art galleries, and architectural landmarks.
MTK Sportpark & MVM Dome
StarLadder will be employing two different venues over the course of the event, with the first three stages set to be played at the MTK Sportpark, a recently completed sports center that will host up to 2,000 spectators during the Major's group stages.
For the playoffs, the venue shifts to the MVM Dome, a 20,000-seat arena completed in 2021, which will feature a 360-degree stage setup. Outside of the Counter-Strike Major, the MVM Dome has also been home to numerous concerts, as well as the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship.
