All ELEAGUE Major participants determined

On December 15 - 18, sixteen teams fought for the opportunity to compete for a challenger position in ELEAGUE’s CS:GO Major.

The event used the Swiss tournament format, which matched teams up against one another based on their record; with three being the "magic number" for wins required to secure one of the eight elusive spots that guaranteed the right to compete in January. When the smoke cleared, some of the results were not as expected, but the teams who have secured "challenger" status that will move on to the Major in January are:
 

•  GODSENT (3-0)
•  FaZe Clan (3-0)
•  OpTic Gaming (3-1)
•  Team Dignitas (3-1)
•  Mousesports (3-1)
•  Team EnVyUs (3-2)
•  G2 Esports (3-2)
•  HellRaisers (3-2)
   

These teams will be thrown into the mix with the following teams who previously secured “Legend” status and were invited to the major:
 

•  Virtus.Pro
•  Team Liquid
•  Fnatic
•  SK Gaming
•  Astralis
•  Na’Vi
•  Flipsid3 Tactics
•  Gambit Gaming
   

The event will take place on January 22 - 29 in Atlanta, with all of the action broadcasted live on both Twitch and TBS, as the teams compete for the title of CS:GO Major Champion, and their share of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
