Each tournament organizer also continues to fund their individual prize pools. The new CS:GO tournament circuit will use GRID esports to manage data. Elisa’s announcement says this partnership can help spectators get more insights into the game played on a live platform.

“With the extended tournament structure co-operated with Relog Media and Funspark, we wanted to provide a new way for European top teams to better their rankings and compete, even if they are not official partners with the largest commercial leagues,” Teemu Koski, Head of Elisa Esports said. “Our tour will attract an extraordinary combination of interesting teams in the world, which has been a long-awaited element by our viewers and fans across the Nordics and Europe. For our viewers we wanted to tell that we have listened, and acted accordingly.”
