Champions of Champions Counter-Strike Tour
The Champions of Champions Tour made its debut in the world of Counter-Strike during the summer of 2022. This groundbreaking esports circuit, spanning both the Americas and Europe, was unveiled by a collaboration of prominent entities, including GRID, FACEIT, Eden Esports, Relog Media, Fantyasyexpo, and Black Molly Entertainment. Together with local tournament organizers, they orchestrated a thrilling 18-month-long journey, featuring a series of online cups with a generous prize pool of $1.8 million (~£1.4 million).
The online cups were just the beginning. The tournament then transitioned to the Studio Finals, where 11 electrifying offline events took place. And now, the highly anticipated climax of the CCT circuit is on the horizon—the Global Finals. Scheduled for May of this year, this ultimate showdown promises to captivate fans with its intense competition and unforgettable moments.
Fabian Logemann, the Head of Tournament Operations at GRID, the driving force behind the tournament, expressed his excitement, stating, “The CCT 2022/2023 season was an immense undertaking, and we were incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from the community, teams, talent, and our partners.

Even though it will be an online event, we are committed to delivering a spectacular show that will crown the true Champion of Champions. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the fans, players, talent, and all our esteemed partners who played a vital role in making the CCT a resounding success!”
