The ELEAGUE Major: Boston – The New Challengers Stage on Friday, Jan. 12

ELEAGUE, the premium esports tournament and content brand from Turner and IMG, today announced the initial matches and casters for its second Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Championship, The ELEAGUE Major: Boston. The $1 million showdown will begin with The New Challengers stage, Friday, Jan. 12, at 10 a.m. ET with live Twitch coverage from ELEAGUE Arena in Atlanta.

The New Challengers stage will feature 16 teams including the bottom eight finishers from the previous Major against the Minor Champions and Runners Up, split into four pools.

In the first round, each team from Pool One will play a best-of-one game against a randomly drawn team from Pool Four, while each team from Pool Two will play a best-of-one match against a randomly drawn team from Pool Three. In subsequent rounds, teams will be re-grouped based on their win-loss records, and will face a new opponent with the same record. Matches will continue in this format until each team either earns three wins and advances to the The New Legends stage, or loses three times and is eliminated.
