Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

CS:GO is one the biggest esports titles in the world and has been part of the ESL Proximus Benelux Championship for 5 years now and will be part of the upcoming Winter season as well. Since last season, the Championship is part of the ESL Pro Tour. The winning team will receive a spot in the National Championship Global Playoff where various NC champions have a chance to qualify for a major EPT tournament (DreamHack Masters / Intel Extreme Masters). Next to that a prize pool of €10.000 is on offer for the top 4! In short, plenty to play for!

The upcoming Winter season of the ESL Proximus Benelux Championship will look a little bit different than what you are used to. This season the 8 teams will be playing a 2-group GSL format over 5 weeks. So how does this work? The 8 teams taking part will be divided up into 2 groups. Each group will play a GSL format [see below] over the course of 5 weeks (1 match per week). These matches are all Bo3. The winner of match 3 and the winner of match 5 qualify for playoffs.

Playoffs will remain the same as last season. This will be a single-elimination tournament with the 4 qualified teams, consisting of 2 semi-finals (Bo3) and a grand final (Bo5). This will be played offline, details TBA.
