The competitive landscape for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has changed, with two major tournament organisers going head-to-head in a war of exclusivity. ESL Pro League has locked in 13 major teams, whereas FLASHPOINT – operated by FACEIT – has drafted in six teams to co-own the league for a $2 million (£1.55 million) price tag each.
