The StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019, also known as StarLadder Major 2019 or Berlin 2019, was the fifteenth Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) Major Championship. It was held in Berlin, Germany from August 23 to September 8, 2019. [1] [2] Fourteen teams qualified for this Major based on their placement at the previous Major, Katowice 2019, while another ten teams qualified from their respective regional qualifiers. [3] It featured a US$1,000,000 prize pool, the eighth consecutive Major with this prize pool. It was also the first time the Ukrainian-based organization StarLadder. [4]

Contents

Astralis won the final against underdogs AVANGAR to become the only team in CS:GO history to win four Majors, and the only team to win three Majors consecutively. Astralis's Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz was the MVP, joining coldzera as the only players to have two Major MVPs.

Background

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike series. In professional CS:GO, the Valve-sponsored Majors are the most prestigious tournaments. [5] [6]

The defending champions were Astralis, after winning their second consecutive and third total Major at IEM Katowice 2019. Astralis and Fnatic entered the tournament tied for most Major titles.

Format

The Major cycle began with four Minors, or regional qualifiers: Americas, Asia, CIS, and Europe. Two teams from each qualifier moved on to the Major. In addition, because Valve reduced the number of direct Major invites from sixteen to fourteen, the third-place teams at each respective Minor advanced to a third-place qualifier that sent two more teams to the Major.

The Major featured twenty-four teams. The top eight teams from the Katowice 2019 were the Legends, and the remaining sixteen teams—the teams that placed ninth through fourteenth at Katowice and the ten teams that advanced from the Minors—were known as Challengers.

The Major was split into three stages. The first stage was the New Challengers stage, featuring all Challengers in a Swiss-system tournament: the top eight teams advanced to the next stage and the bottom eight teams were eliminated. [7] Teams in the New Challengers stage were initially given an Elo ranking based on the HLTV world rankings. Each round of matches was seeded based on this Elo system. [8] The second stage was the New Legends stage, a second Swiss-system group stage seeded in the same way. This stage featured the eight Legends from the Katowice Major and the eight teams advancing from the New Challengers stage. Like the New Challengers stage, the New Legends stage also advanced the top eight teams and eliminated the bottom eight teams. All teams from this stage except the bottom two teams earned automatic invites to the following Major. The final stage was the New Champions stage, and teams that advanced to this stage received Legends status at the following Major. This stage featured an eight team, best-of-three, single elimination bracket.

Map Pool

The map pool for this Major changed from Katowice 2019. Valve took Cache out of the map pool and announced it would be redesigned. Rather than reintroducing Cobblestone, which had been in the map pool in previous Majors, Valve added Vertigo to the competitive map pool for the first time. [9]

Minors

Each regional qualifier, called "Minors", featured eight teams. Each Minor also had a US$50,000 prize pool, with first place receiving US$30,000, second place taking in US$15,000, and third place raking in the last US$5,000. Like past recent Minors, no teams were directly invited to the Minors. [10] There is no prize pool for the third place play in. The Europe and Americas Minors will start on July 17 and last until July 21. The CIS and Asia Minors will start on July 24 and last until July 28; the third place play in will take place on July 29.

Each Minor will feature two groups of four teams in a standard, GSL format group stage. The highest and lowest seed of the group and then other two teams will play in a best of one. The winners will play in a best of three and then the losers will play in a best of three. The winner of the winner's match will qualify for the bracket stage while the loser of the loser's match will be eliminated. The last two teams in the group will play in a best of three; the winner will move on to the bracket stage and the loser will be eliminated. The bracket stage will be a four team, best of three, double elimination bracket. The top two teams will qualify for the New Challengers stage of the Major, the third place team will have another shot in the third place play-in, while the fourth place team will be eliminated.

The third place play-in will be a four team, double elimination bracket. The initial and winner's match will be a best of one while the elimination matches will be a best of three. The top three teams move on to the Major as Cloud9 lost their Major spot so the spot is replaced by a team from the third place play-in.

Americas Minor

The Americas Minor will feature six teams from North America and two teams from South America. The North American closed qualifier featured sixteen teams, with eight teams being invited and another eight teams coming from four open qualifiers. Like the Europe Minor closed qualifier, the North America qualifier was a sixteen team, double elimination, best of three bracket. Notable teams such as Luminosity Gaming, Team Envy, and Boston 2018 champions Cloud9 failed to make it to the Minor. The South America qualifier initially had eight invited teams, but DETONA Gaming's Vinicius "v$m" Moreira had a VAC ban, forcing the team to withdraw from the qualifier. The last spot was filled in by a last chance qualifier. [11]

Notes
  1. ↑ Lazarus Gaming decide to withdraw from the Minor due to roster issues involving Braxton "swag" Pierce, who was permanently banned by Valve due to his involvement in the iBUYPOWER and NetcodeGuides.com match fixing scandal. StarLadder decided to replace the team with the two teams that placed 7th in the closed qualifier: Team Envy and Luminosity Gaming. However, Envy decided not to have a chance to attend the Major and attend Intel Extreme Masters Season XIV – Chicago, giving the spot to Luminosity.
