This upcoming gaming tournament in Budapest introduces a fresh twist to its final showdown, setting the stage for more extended and strategic battles. The event is one of the few major Counter-Strike 2 competitions remaining on the 2025 calendar.
The tournament, scheduled from November 24 to December 14, will feature 32 teams competing for a stake in a $1.25-million reward fund. With rigorous challenges along the way, each team is gearing up for an intense journey toward the championship.
- Schedule: November 24 – December 14
- Teams Competing: 32
- Total Prize Pool: $1.25 million
- Grand Final Format: Best-of-five
In a move that departs from previous practices, the organizers have opted for a best-of-five series in the grand final for the first time. This adjustment means that the two finalist teams will need to secure three map wins to be declared champions—a change that is likely to extend the final matchup unless one team decisively wins the first three maps.
