September 21, 2025
CSGO’s Global Tournament 2025 is absolutely stacked—like, if you think you’ve seen a wild esports year before, well, buckle up. We’re talking nonstop chaos from September all the way through December. Online bloodbaths, tense LAN crowds, Euro nights, Chinese arenas, and more—if you’ve got a passport (or just a good VPN), you’re set. The prize pools are fat too. Like, actually life-changing: expect wallets to get heavy and egos to inflate accordingly.
Summary
September 2025
No 1. Galaxy Battle 2025 Phase 4
Kicking off September 21st and running through October 12th—this one’s strictly online and Euro-based, with 24 squads eyeing a $50k pool. Winner grabs half, $25k. Second place pockets eleven grand—not bad for three weeks of pixels and caffeine. Third/fourth get $4k each. And hey, even the teams that totally bomb still walk away with something. Share that $15k pot between fifth and eighth—so, no total heartbreak for anyone.
No 2. Winline Insight Season 8
September 22nd – October 9th, another online Euro throwdown. Only 16 teams this round. $50k prize, winner again gets $25k—same story, smaller crowd, bigger chance to flex. The rest split the remaining cash: $15k for second, $7.5k for third, $2.5k for fourth. Sure, it’s not as flashy as some of these other tournaments, but you know what? The action is always nuts and for a lot of teams, this is the proving ground.
No 3. Majestic LanDaLan 3
Hello, Moscow! September 25–28, 8 international teams on LAN. $50k waiting for a new home. First place takes a beefy $30k, second snags $10k, third and fourth grab $3.5k each. Even if you finish dead last, you’re still walking out with a grand—not exactly baller, but hey, your mom will be proud.
October 2025
No 1. ESL Proleague Season 22
Stockholm, Sweden, October 3–12. The big leagues. Sixteen best-of-the-best squads, gunning for a total of one million dollars. Yeah, let that sink in. Winner bags $100k, runner-up gets $50k, and the rest is sliced up all the way down to team #16. No one walks away broke, but only one team pops champagne.
No 2. CS Asia Championships 2025
Shanghai’s turn, October 14–19. Sixteen elite teams battle for another $1M. Winner? $150k richer. Second? $70k. Third gets $60k. Even if you flame out early, there’s still a piece of the pie. Every round counts—no snoozers here.
No 3. PGL Master Bucharest 2025
October 26–Nov 1, in Romania. Sixteen teams. $1.25 MILLION up for grabs. Winner nabs $200k (yeah, you read that right), second pulls $93.7k, third $75k, fourth $43.7k, and payouts drop all the way down to 16th. Generous, huh? Means every single match gets played like rent’s due tomorrow.
CSGO Global Tournament 2025: November 2025
No 1. IEM Chengdu 2025
Nov 3–9, China does it big. Sixteen teams, another fat $1M pool. Best squad snatches $125k, second $50k, third $30k, fourth $20k. Lower ranks still get something. No reason to give up halfway—money’s on the line everywhere.
No 2. Blast Rivals 2025 Season 2
Hong Kong, November 12–16, 8 teams, $350k to fight over. With such a small lineup, every match is eliminate-or-advance. No room for screwups, basically.
No 3. StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 2
November 29–Dec 2, in Budapest. This one’s a bit cozier—$80k prize, but it’s the dress rehearsal for the big finale. Great shot for smaller orgs to turn heads (or crash and burn, your pick).
December 2025
No 1. StarLadder Budapest Major 2025
From December 4th through the 14th, also in Budapest. Top 16 teams, $1.17 million in the pot (biggest of the year, obviously). This is where legends are made, contracts are signed, and memes get born on Twitter. Winner gets the money, glory, and all the Instagram followers they can handle. Season ends here, and honestly, you don’t wanna blink—stuff’s about to get wild.
