The new tournament operator, United States Esports Affiliation, has announced a Counter-Strike 2 championship in North America, named USEA Born to Win Season 1.
The competition's group stage will take place online over eight weeks. The final matches will be played offline (LAN). The championship will be open to all interested parties, but only US citizens will be eligible to participate.
The total prize pool for the event will be $350,000. Further details about the upcoming competition will be released later.
Some members of the CS2 community, such as Complexity's general manager, doubt whether the tournament will take place and suspect its organizers of fraud, citing the overly large prize pool, strange format, and lack of information.
