More phenomenal Counter-Strike coming soon!
With Blast Premier Fall Series 2020 ending November 4th, it is exciting that competitive Counter-Strike will resume as early as November 6th. This is the date where IEM Beijing-Haidian begins with four regional tournaments, consisting of Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania.
The European tournament, with 16 teams competing, features the largest pot with $150,000 up for grabs. The North American tournament consists of 8 teams and has a pot of up to $70,000, whilst the two smaller tournaments with only 4 competitors are fighting for their chance to win $30,000. The event will start on November 6th, with the European and North American tournaments, after which the two smaller tournaments will begin as well.
