cs_summit 6 to host Summer RMR tournament in Europe and North America*

Beyond the Summit and its sixth edition of cs_summit will play host to the second Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament in Europe and North America, the organizers have announced.

*Update: Valve has announced that there will be no summer RMR event in South America and Oceania, leaving just the CIS and Asian tournaments to be revealed at a later date.

The second RMR event, which will offer the second-most points (25% more than ESL One: Road to Rio) in the run to the only Major of 2020, ESL One Rio, will feature a combined $200,000 prizepool across the two regions and take place online on June 22-July 5.

That puts cs_summit 6 immediately after BLAST Premier Spring Europe Finals (June 15-21) in the calendar and just before the summer player break, which was recently moved a week forward, to July 6-August 6.

The tournament is the first in CS:GO that Beyond the Summit will host online after all previous editions were held inside the company's studio, in Los Angeles, California. It will also be the organizers' first involvement with Valve and their biggest venture yet after they hosted a maximum of eight teams in the past.

Current Regional Major Ranking standings after the conclusion of Road to Rio are expected to be one of the primary factors in determining participants in the summer series. The standings look as follows in Europe and North America:
