FACEIT are hosting the first UK-based CS:GO Major in London - with a $1 million prize pool. 

Previously, FACEIT - creators of the Esports Championship Series - helped organise the open qualifier rounds for CS:GO Majors. However, this is the first year they will run the whole tournament solo.

The FACEIT London Major will be the 13th CS:GO Major but the first held in the UK, it is also set to be the UK's biggest tournament to date in terms of viewership.

"The community has been at the heart of everything we do at FACEIT, and we’re so grateful for the support of the players on our platform and those who’ve attended and watched ECS,” Michele Attisani, co-founder of FACEIT, says. “We’re excited to create an amazing celebration of CS:GO to honor that commitment. We look forward to seeing everyone there in September."
