CS: GO is a well-known name in the world of e-sports. Lots of tournaments of all kinds, from small local contests to international showdowns, are held all year long. E-sports fans know that the CS: GO Major Championship is one of the most prestigious tournaments. It’s officially supported by Valve but there’s more to it than official endorsement. It has a very attractive prize pool of $1 million. In 2018, the CS: GO Major Championship, or Major for short, will be hosted by FACEIT. This is an online platform for competitive games.
