Chronology
The ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018 is the 12th Valve sponsored Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Championship and the first of two in 2018. The tournament featured a $1,000,000 USD prize pool as well as Valve's newly rebranded format and increase to 24 teams.
About[edit]
Overview[edit]
Following their success with the ELEAGUE Major: Atlanta 2017, Valve announced that ELEAGUE shall return to host the third CS:GO Major Championship in North America, to be held in Boston, Massachusetts. The event featured an expected prize pool of $1,000,000 USD, which was fought over by 23 teams.
A partially new format was announced by ELEAGUE & Valve on December 13th, 2017, which brought in the Offline Qualifier as now part of the Major Championship and rebranded all the stages of the tournament. The offline qualifier was named The New Challengers Stage, the group stage was renamed to The New Legends Stage and the playoffs to The New Champions Stage. This increased the number of teams at the Major Championships from 16 to 24, with all 24 teams receiving stickers. [1]
The New Challengers Stage (formerly the Offline Qualifier), lasting from January 12th to 15th, was held at the ELEAGUE Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, but was closed to spectators. The New Legends Stage, taking place from January 19th to 22nd, was also held at the ELEAGUE Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The New Champions Stage was held later at the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, starting on January 26th, and concluding with the grand final on January 28th, 2018. [2][3]
