PGL Major Stockholm is right around the corner. The first major in two years because of the cancellation of ESL One: Rio 2020 due to corona. And if that is not enough to excite you, the record-breaking amount of money up for grabs should.
At the first seven majors, the reward for becoming the champions was an exciting $100.000. Then at MLG Major Championship: Columbus 2016 they decided to up the ante and make it $500.000 for first. That set the standard of major cash prizes for four years.

The upcoming major in Sweden now offers $1.000.000 for first, which is four times the total prize pool of Dreamhack Winter 2013, the first major of CS:GO. If this growth continues, we will be talking about a $4.000.000 prize for the champions at majors in 2029.
