Flashpoint 1 is the inaugural season of the new Counter-Strike organization-owned league headed up by Cloud9 and Immortals Gaming Club. The season features 8 permanent members as well as 4 qualified teams competing over a $1,000,000 USD prize pool. The launch of the league also coincided with FunPlus Phoenix entering Counter-Strike.
The season was originally planned to have its finals in Stockholm but was moved entirely to the FACEIT Studio in Los Angeles due to the increasing global spread of COVID-19. The league was also later migrated entirely online for the rest of the first phase following the first week of matches as a further safety precaution. It is currently unknown whether the entirety of the league will be played online or if there will be offline finals.
