The multi-division online league based on FACEIT's platform has expanded to North America for the second season and will have a total of ~$45,000 up for grabs across multiple competitions.

The first season of Winners League's Invite division was won by x6tence Galaxy in December, with the Swedish team claiming $7,000 after defeating Bpro in the grand finals of the playoffs. Now, the second season of the tournament has been announced, set to start on April 2, with an expansion to North America on the cards as well.

Thanks! Its actually our goal to support and elevate competition of various levels. We want to push up-and-coming teams to the next level and support teams that are looking to compete in a meaningful way.. There's much more at stake than just money here ;)

I think diversifying the tournament portofolio of the csgo scene is a good thing. More teams gets a chance to shine when productions like this are held. Interesting that those new teams also gets to try their powers against teams like VP and luminosity for example. I like this.

2019-03-28 09:36

Finally someone willing to give a chance to lower tier teams to prove and progress themselves. CS is a beautiful game owned by everyone, not just the big dogs. Let's face it, Astralis demolishing everyone will become boring in a few days :)

2019-03-28 11:33

why are all these upper tier teams playing in this? t1, luminosity, denial etc? it is not very big prize pool and it seems more aimed for adv / mid lvl mdl
