ESL One Katowice with $250,000

ESL have just announced that the next $250,000 major will be at ESL One Katowice during the Intel ESL Expo once again at the Spodek arena from March 12-15.

Much like last year, this year's event in Katowice will host the first Valve's major of 2015 with $250,000 on the line yet again.

The tournament will take place during the Intel ESL Expo, which is promised to be a bigger event compared to last year's IEM Finals, as only the esports side of the event will take up as much as 8,000 square meters.


CS:GO returns to the biggest stage we've had so far in Katowice

Eight best teams from the last major at DreamHack Winter 2014 have already qualified, being the "legends", while eight challengers will have to battle through tough competition in qualifiers.

As an upgrade from last year's tournaments, this time the major will have an offline qualifier in Katowice on February 13-14 after a number of online pre-qualifiers.

ESL One Katowice 2015 with $250,000 in prizemoney will take place on March 12-15th in Spodek arena in Katowice, Poland as a part of Intel ESL Expo.

Lolol "noname shit" tsm has had more recognition, has had a huge fanbase and became one of the richest org. In just a matter of 6 year s now Dignitas who you assume is the oldest org has almost as much fanbase than tsm and barely had any achievements in games THAT UI KNOW OF. Dont say tsm is a noname org lmfao

I think he means that since the first 250k major, CS:GO players has increased 2 or 3 times if not even more. Valve is making way more money out of it and doesn't give more to CS:GO tournaments.

They don't they lose money on these tournaments, its the opposite. Dude they wouldn't even notice if added 250k more, they make millions off this shit selling stickers, tickets, keys. Lurpis whote that they get their money back + huge profit only only from selling stickers.

n1! Though its really sad to allways bring in the prizemoney aspect of the tournaments as THE most important bit of the event..Think about it ppl, do other sport events bring the prizemoney factor into light aswell as esports? naw man..

That's because in other sport events players aren't so reliant on prize money because they can make a good living of their salary alone. CS players depend on the tournament winnings.

Volvo we are making you more than Dota 2 now and you fuck us up the ass like this. Fuck you. We deserve at least 500k. Also, WHY NO CROWDFUNDING!? There's no reason not to add it.

shame on volvo being greedy and putting the same prize pool this year again... Shows how much they care about the growth of the game. Same prize pool while earning more money and still not fixing basic shit in the game. money whores.

250 again? lets increment it now, dont you think? the game is way more expensive than dota and the ingame drops and skins sell for up to 4000% more, so people buy cases and keys like cray crays so how come we dont have more $$$$$$$$$$$ in the big event ????????? we migth be young, but we are not stupid Gaben

Love it how the guys from dota2dev just sell one item for 10$ and collect the money for a tournament (that now reached 2.1 million dollars), while in CS:GO they take 250k out of over few millions for this tournament. They should let us contribute directly to the prize pool of the majors.
