Our CS:GO plan for the remainder of 2020

Calendar TL;DR:

  • Update: ESL One Rio 2020 Major
  • October: IEM New York 2020 - Online
  • November: IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 - Online
  • December: IEM Global Challenge 2020

UPDATE: ESL ONE RIO 2020 CS:GO MAJOR

Together with Valve we had to make the tough but safe decision to cancel the ESL One Rio Major 2020 due to the ongoing disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We worked through several alternative options down to the last hour to make the Major a reality, but ultimately have to face the fact that the global situation currently does not allow for a Major to take place. While Valve is currently not able to say when and how Majors will return, as soon as they do we'll work to bring the Major to Rio. New dates will be announced once a return for an in-arena Major is safe for everyone involved. All purchased tickets remain fully valid or can be refunded upon request.
