ELEAGUE to host next Major

27-9-2016 17:03

The tenth CS:GO Major will be organized by ELEAGUE and will take place from January 22-29 at Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.

In August it was confirmed that the tenth CS:GO Major would not take place by the end of 2016, as Valve were looking into the option of hosting it in January 2017.

ELEAGUE have just revealed that they will organize the next $1 million Major, which will take place from January 22-29. Only the last three days, supposedly reserved for playoffs, will be open to the public, with tickets already being sold.

The event's venue will be the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, which has a capacity of less than 5,000 seats, the lowest amount since DreamHack Winter 2014.

ELEAGUE to organize the tenth Major

ELEAGUE have also revealed that the grand final will be broadcast by TBS as well as Twitch.

An offline qualifier running from December 15-18 in ELEAGUE's studios in Atlanta will determine the eight Challengers.

16 teams will take part in the offline qualifier, eight of which will come from a Regional Minor system while the other eight are ESL One Cologne's bottom eight teams:

Dignitas	Ninjas in Pyjamas	MOUZ	FaZe
CLG	OpTic	Envy	G2

Eight teams who have already secured a spot at ELEAGUE's first Major by placing in the top eight at ESL One Cologne are:

SK	Liquid	GODSENT	Virtus.pro
FlipSid3	Astralis	Gambit	Natus Vincere

Even bigger is when you have 10k or more seats in the venue and crowd is acting like 100 years old. No hype , no yells , nothing. Thats far worse than 5k seats with super hyped crowd.

The competition and games might have been what you remember being good at DH events, but that would be about it. Their production is sub-par at best and they treat their talent team like shit and have them work crazy-long days. Also, the way they handle seating and the inability to freely leave and come back to the event center is absolutely ridiculous.

What about 8 through as Legends (like now), and 24 in through qualifiers? 32 breaks down a lot easier in B03's ... 32>16>8 = 2 matches to get into the playoffs (like already today, except in one B03's instead of 2 B01's). At that point it's no different than today. Playoffs are already B03's. The way I look at it is this: Teams don't want to spend the time and effort (especially if they're not an elite team), on arranging tournaments, and flights, and visa's, and meals, etc. and be out in one 16-round match. Because of this, they've changed things up at most tournaments so that they get a second map to try to keep going. Well, with my idea, a team still gets 2 maps, but potentially 3 (if they can take a map). It also simplifies brackets because in B03's you move on if you win the B03 and go home if you don't... so 32 > 16 > 8 > 4 > 2 (Final)

Interesting thought, but i doubt it. The while point of a major is to make the tournment the most compettitive tournments of the year. The latter end of the teams will be tier 3. Dont know if valve wants that

Looking forward to probably the worst major yet.

Nope but you're complaining about how Europe is the majority, and I'm not saying it's going to be a good major, it's going to be garbage, what I'm saying is to not be a whiny bitch about a major being late for you when 8/10 majors have been at good times for you "Oh but we're the majority" yeah but eleague clearly had the money

2016-09-27 20:16

Are you seriously dumb? It's way easier for you to watch a tourney that is hosted in Europe than the other way around. If a match is at 10 PM EU time, you'll see it at around 3-4 PM. 10 PM in NA is around 3-4 AM EU time. Who the fuck is up this late, especially during working days...? Valve chose ELEAGUE because they want to appear on TV. No more, no less. They have no other reason to let an org that hasn't even been around E-sports for a year host a freaking major. The venue is small as fuck, a clear indication that, yet again, they don't give a shit what happens over there, or on stream. I also thought that the ELEAGUE finals were poorly organized but the production quality is pretty good, and definitely good enough to make it entertaining to watch on TV. MLG should be the logical choice for NA majors but they don't offer TV audience.

"ELEAGUE have also revealed that the grand final will be broadcast by TBS as well as Twitch." It's not very clear, but i guess that is what they mean.

Why didn't they let DH organize the next major in somewhere like Sweden where the crowd is hyped and they can fill a full arena and not a fucking movie theater??

2016-09-27 18:08

Looks a bit disrespectful towards MLG since they did a good job and had to work some time in order to get their chance to host a major but welp we don't know the negotiations behind the screen. The 5k capacity sucks a bit, but it should be enough to get a great atmosphere. I just hope that doesn't skyrocket the prices

2016-09-27 18:31

This seeding is such a joke. Botsent, botside tactics, Botbit & Botquid str8 into the major. I would put at least 3 challengers over these teams (with small questionmark hanging above GODSENT)any day and 2-3 more are roughly same level or still better. This perfectly shows how bad system is this, at least 2 much better teams than flipside or gambit(liquid) wont be in the major for sure. #fuc-logic Ye and major should def be in Europe OR in rising Asia, USA is misstep.

"The event's venue will be the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, which has a capacity of less than 5,000 seats, the lowest amount since DreamHack Winter 2014." already set up to be one of the worst majors just because of this. there wont be an atmosphere there. the last majors have been getting better and better each major with big crowds. valve has basically just gone and said fuck csgo we don't want you to have nice things. ELEAGUE could have at least hired a bigger venue ffs. thanks for ruining a major before it even starts.

Well bollocks... ESL and DreamHack are the biggest E-sports organisations on the planet, but a one-off season of ELEAGUE is successful and they getto host the major? I hope it's up to it's strictest standards and of ESL/DH quality. I really enjoyed ELEAGUE Season 1's production value, so it shouldn't be a problem. Please, do not be like MLG when they hosted it. Yam's video in particular proves that production quality isn't everything if you cannot maintain basic standard rules. Best of luck... I'm not convinced, but we shall see the outcome.
