Pinnacle is also expanding the current scope of the competition, adding a Brazilian circuit which reflects both the company’s commitment to some of the most popular regions when it comes to CS:GO and also the fans based in those regions.

The 2023 edition will feature a total of four events. The upcoming events will include a Swiss and Playoffs format and they will have a Play-In stage with a $50,000 prize pool. Two of the big tournaments that are coming will be taking place in Brazil, with Pinnacle giving a much stronger focus on the jurisdiction.

The news was welcomed by Pinnacle Head of Esports Alex McBride who said that the company was delighted to see the return of the CS:GO tournament circuit. McBride also spoke of the Dota 2 series that the company announced previously and said:

These events will give teams at the top of their game, as well as aspiring teams trying to break into the elite tier, a chance to prove themselves.
