G2 leading EU race for BLAST Paris
HooXi and co. managed to take home a tournament win in 2022 during the last tournament at BLAST World Finals.
Valve has now released the second edition of its Regional Standings, a ranking that will be used to choose which portion of invites to the later stages of the upcoming 2023 CS:GO BLAST Major which will be held in Paris.
Which ranking you are placed on is based on three factors, Prize money earned, their beaten opponents' prize money, and teams beaten in the head-to-head results. The ranking is separated into regions which means that Europe, America, and Asia are the three regions where the regional point will determine what invite you will get at the closed qualifier.
Over 300 teams in total are currently ranked across the three regions - Check out the rankings for Europe right here:
