Official: BLAST organizes CS:GO Major in Paris
Tournament operator BLAST has officially confirmed the information about the holding of the first Major of 2023. A few days after the first rumors appeared, the organizers gave French fans a reason to rejoice - the championship will be held from May 8 to 21 in Paris.
BLAST has always had the ambition and dream to take part in the Major, which is rightfully considered the pinnacle of esports and competitive gaming. We watched and waited for the right moment to arrange an unforgettable Major. Over the past few years, we have worked hard to provide the best esports entertainment on the planet, and most recently, we have invested in a digital platform that will bring fans even closer to the experience.
Paris is the venue for the world-class tournament and it will precede another high-profile international event, the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Majors are 10 years old next year and we are very confident that we will celebrate this milestone by presenting the greatest major to date for CS:GO fans.
