The prospect of witnessing the best teams from around the globe battling it out in Asia, the final major tournament of the year, is simply thrilling.


The final event of the season

2024’s Shanghai Major, the first Major tournament for Counter-Strike in Asia, will serve as the culminating event of the year. Often, a Major acting as the final competition before the season’s end provides an ideal conclusion to the yearly competition. Here, you’ll find essential information about the Shanghai Major, including format, participating teams, and more.

The Shanghai Major Format

The Shanghai Major has three stages to the tournament. It all starts on November 30 with the Opening Stage Swiss format. The opening stage has sixteen teams in participation.

In simpler terms, all the knockout and progression rounds in the tournament are decided over three matches. All other games are just a single match. The top eight teams from the initial round will move on to the elimination stage. Regrettably, for the bottom eight teams, this means their Shanghai Major journey comes to an end.

In this stage, the leading eight teams advance to the knockout rounds, which follow a single-elimination structure. The victor of these playoffs will be recognized as the world’s top team.

  • Seven from Americas RMR
