FACEIT announced CS:GO Pro League

FACEIT has announced the CS:GO Pro League with $20,000 prize pool every month.

FACEIT has just announced a whole new league system for players, where the community will be able to team up with pro players to try and win some of the prizes. The aim of the league is to offer a highly skilled matchmaking environment and give the community the opportunity to watch unconventional matches with mixed teams created amongst the best European CS:GO players.

Naturally, the initial player pool will consist of professional players coming from the best European teams, however, the community players will still have a chance to group up with these pro players, but in order to do that they will have to pass certain levels of the qualifiers. The top 60 players of the Master League will qualify for a 5 day qualifier, which will guarantee the top 5 players access to the Pro league.

Virtus.pro's Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas had this to say following about this new project:

I'm really happy that the project finally comes to life. We all know how easy it is to play in FACEIT, simply login to the site and you're ready to go. Nowadays there is a big interest in streams from top players, and with the FPL available, we can stream you games with the best players each day. Adding prize money will just make the games so much more interesting, as you will see a lot more learning content, and players doing their best in order to win. The last thing, which I will enjoy the most is playing with all this sick young talent, just another step into international teams!

Olof "Olofmeister" Kajbjer of Fnatic added this:

This is something I personally, as well as a lot of other pro players, have been wanting and waiting for a long time so I'm super exicited to see it's finally here. Adding a monthly prize pool to it only makes it more competitive, meaning you guys will see some high quality CS on our streams! And of course it's really awesome and reassuring that FACEIT are the one doing this as they already have a ton of experience from their DOTA2 League, and they really listen to what we players have to say.

FACEIT’s goal is that this system will give new young talents the spotlight they deserve and a unique chance to challenge themselves with the most known and talented players of the scene.
