ESL explains future of most prestigious CS:GO prize after transition to Counter-Strike 2

The fifth season of the Intel Grand Slam, a $1 million prize for CS:GO teams who win three ESL Pro Tour Masters events and one ESL Pro Tour Championship event in a span of 10 tournaments, will commence with IEM Rio 2023 this week and all the CS:GO accomplishments during this time will carry over to Counter-Strike 2, ESL confirmed today in a press release.

“Once the highly anticipated Counter-Strike 2 is released and implemented into the ESL Pro Tour (EPT) ecosystem, any eligible event wins in CS:GO will count towards the Intel Grand Slam and as such a team can complete their run with wins in both CS:GO and CS2,” ESL said. CS2 is currently in limited test access and is expected to release worldwide this summer.
