Thanks to their victory at IEM Dallas 2024, G2 has tied with FaZe and MOUZ in the number of trophies won in the current Intel Grand Slam season. All three teams have won two tournaments each, with one of G2's victories being of elite status.
Currently, Team Spirit is also competing for the prestigious award, having one trophy. In contrast, the Falcons have been eliminated from the race following the recent championship in Dallas.
The Intel Grand Slam award will go to the team that wins three ESL Pro Tour Masters events and one major elite Championship event (such as IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, or an ESL Major). From their first victory, contenders have nine opportunities to secure three additional titles.
Since its inception in 2018, Astralis, Liquid, NAVI, and FaZe have claimed the Intel Grand Slam award. The fifth season was announced in the spring of 2023, with ESL stating that the competition would start in CS:GO and continue after the transition to CS2.
