FULL CAPACITY FOR CS:GO'S LAST MAJOR

If there was any doubt that Counter-Strike moves masses, they were dissipated. For its last Major ever, CS:GO and BLAST have managed to sell out the Accor Arena, a venue with a max capacity of 20,300 people.

CS:GO's send-off has been amazing, with player records being broken almost on a weekly basis, an IEM Rio Major with a crowd during all three stages, and now a sold-out arena for the last-ever Major.

The venue will be full to watch Vitality take on Into the Breach, Liquid battle with Apeks, Monte and GamerLegion fight for the best underdog run out of the two, and the anticipated final between Heroic and FaZe, as well as the semifinals and, of course, the grand final.

The playoffs are shaping up to be the event with the most hype crowd the game has seen, with loads of storylines and narratives developing and this being one of the most competitive CS:GO tournaments of all time.

It's safe to say fans are eager to watch teams battle it out for the $1,250,000 prize pool, despite some heavy favorites not being present.

The quarterfinals start today with:

• Heroic vs. FaZe - 09:00AM

• Vitality vs. Into The Breach - 01:00PM

Tomorrow, the other side of the bracket joins the action:

• Monte vs. GamerLegion - 09:00AM

• Liquid vs. Apeks - 01:00PM
