The circuit will travel to Abu Dhabi as the season nears its conclusion.

Astralis are the highest-ranked team in the tournament

Just days after G2 won a shock title at IEM Dallas while playing with Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip, the Counter-Strike circuit will travel to Abu Dhabi for YaLLa Compass 2024, set to be played from June 5-9.

While the event features just three top-ten teams, namely Astralis, HEROIC, and Complexity, the tournament promises a high-octane environment between teams wanting to end their season on a high.

The aforementioned trio, alongside Eternal Fire, are the favorites for the title, but many lower-ranked squads will be looking to upset the apple cart at the event.

ENCE, fnatic, and Ninjas in Pyjamas will be making their LAN debut with their latest signings, while The MongolZ come into the tournament fresh off their win at MESA Nomadic Masters Spring.

BIG, BetBoom, and FURIA are also on the team list, and all three teams will aim to break a period of lackluster results in recent times and end their season on a high in Abu Dhabi.

Participating teams and format

Twelve teams will compete for the $400,000 prize pool at YaLLa Compass 2024. The event will begin with two best-of-one round-robin groups. The top three teams from each group will then advance to the single-elimination playoffs, with the group winners skipping the first round of the bracket.

Is this formally T1 event?

Hopefully not

2024-06-04 14:06

It can be viewed as a Tier 1.5 event as most of the teams are Top 30 caliber with a few high profile names.

2024-06-04 14:13

Don't worry, nowadays they give MVP medals even for 8 teams champ like bookies betboom dacha.

Yeah. It's a joke.

2024-06-04 14:21

Nowadays? Just look at these examples from the past with only one top-10 team and 8 teams in total: hltv.org/events/3427/dreamhack-open-summ.. hltv.org/events/3428/dreamhack-open-vale.. hltv.org/events/3425/dreamhack-open-tour.. hltv.org/events/4828/v4-future-sports-fe.. We also had MVPs for events with a total of 4 teams and one top-10 team: hltv.org/events/4370/eleague-csgo-invita..

The last one is absolutely amazing. Play 2 games to get MVP. donk won 3 matches with spirit to get mvp - that's absolutely ridiculous

2024-06-04 15:32

What's wrong with it tho?

2024-06-05 15:54

4 replies

Nothing. They should give mvp for 2 teams championship for 1 series. Should be fine

2024-06-05 15:55

It was a genuine question. No need to go to extremes with no arguments whatsoever.

2024-06-05 15:59

Honestly, of course I understand how it works. There were good teams in general although I really don't like the number of them (feels like 8 kinda little amount) and that fact that it was a bookie tournament.

2024-06-05 16:12

Yeah, but there are 8-team events like Blast World Finals that almost in its entirety consist of top10 teams. Its not about the number of teams but rather about how much an event is stacked. Bookie tournament doesn't necessarily mean that it's scripted or whatever, every team still try their best to compete since the prize pool is usually big enough for it to be worth effort. So the competitive spirit is still there. Most "scripted", 322 or cheat-legal events are less relevant than Betboom Dacha which was not quite tier-1 event, although big enough to have the respect for community.

2024-06-05 17:04

At least we had 3 or 4 tier 1 teams at boom boom

2024-06-04 18:14

Events need to have at least 3 top 10 teams to grant hltv MVP, which Yalla does.

2024-06-04 18:23

Worst casters unfortunately

2024-06-04 14:03

Respect Vince

2024-06-04 14:33

Vince Hill, he ate a shoe on stream once.

2024-06-04 14:54

youtu.be/buBNm5s4OT4?si=1P9JL7Q7f7B-h-ex I can't find the other clip, but he bought a chocolate shoe (he didn't eat an actual shoe) and ate it on stream. It's in one of Vital's rewinds, but CBA finding it.

EF vs Astralis for Grand Final

Current winner probabilities based on betting odds: Astralis: 22.55% Heroic: 14.35% Eternal Fire: 10.52% Complexity: 9.28% TheMongolz: 8.77% BIG: 7.89% BB Team: 7.17% FURIA: 6.07% Fnatic: 6.07% ENCE: 3.76% Sashi: 1.93% NIP: 1.55%

2024-06-04 14:19

So NiP should win then

2024-06-04 14:23

IMO, furia = 1,5 Unfortunately they just lost a Tier 4 tournament.

2024-06-04 15:57

Very low on fnatic imo

2024-06-04 16:35

hunden fixed heroic match

Still a lot of moving pieces as teams look to make a final push for Cologne, Pro League as well as secure a spot in the RMRs instead of Closed Qualifiers and close out the season on a high note. BO1 format in groups brings me back to old times, better times even. Looking forward to the event, BIG's assignment is pretty simple: Don't finish last. Upside for us is probably the Quarterfinals as the better teams take over in this tournament later on.

2024-06-04 14:20

Everything is possible. The more tournaments team plays, the more chances to get high position on at least one of them!

2024-06-04 14:32

I just don't know if BIG can replicate the wins from Dallas, we're playing a lot of our kryptonite teams like BetBoom in our group and more of them wait on the other side like Astralis.

2024-06-04 14:41

Not sure why, but I have a feeling, that BIG gonna play good this event. They improved their game in recent events

2024-06-04 14:49

will be goat event without navi yess !!

im gonna cry

2024-06-04 14:39

Does it have a crowd? Otherwise trash

2024-06-04 14:48

visiting in person, hope the event delivers.

COL 2:1 Astralis EZ Clap

2024-06-04 14:50

What a horrific schedule and format.

2024-06-04 14:56

Furia bombing out last place /close Regards

2024-06-04 15:07

Easy for EF.

2024-06-04 15:28

bo1 round robin pog

Finally some good old school system. Should've been all BO3 though.

2024-06-04 16:05

no team stand a chance against devegoat

2024-06-04 17:42

Astralis locks their spot directly to Cologne, skipping the play-in, if they make the grand finals. Complexity gets to snag the spot instead if they win the event (and Astralis do not make the finals), or if they get 2nd and Astralis finishes in joint last place.
