It promises to be a tight race, with the winner receiving $175, ,000 in prize money and automatic qualification to the BLAST World Final 2022 in Cologne.

.
The BLAST Spring Shoudown — is a direct ticket to Spring Finals 2022 for the winner with a nice $20, ,000 first place bonus.
May 2022
There are two big tournaments to look forward to this month:
PGL Major Antwerp 2022 — May 9 (prize pool — $1 ,000,000);
IEM XVII Dallas — May 31 (prize pool — $250,000).
In May, everyone is waiting for the third Major of the PGL series, which will be a continuation of PGL Major Krakow and PGL Major Stocholm. Twenty-four teams will compete for supremacy and an impressive $500, ,000 fee for the Top 1. And as an additional incentive will be a guaranteed ticket to the BLAST tournament of CS:GO 2022 (BLAST World Final 2022) in Belgium.
IEM is not as big as PGL, but it is also interesting. If only because it is organized by ESL with the support of top sponsors:
-
Intel;
-
Acer Predator;
-
Monster Energy;
-
DHL;
-
Coinbase.
There will be 16 professional teams competing for $100, ,000 and the Top 1, and the event will be held in Dallas, USA at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
June 2022
Summer — is not only a time of rest, but also a time for a couple of significant tournaments:
-
ESL Impact S1 — June 3 (prize pool — $150,000);
-
BLAST Spring Finals — June 15 ($425,000).
ESL is interesting because it is focused exclusively on women's CS GO teams, so it's definitely worth a look. Not much is known about the event except that it will take place in Dallas, where IEM XVII Dallas.
And Blast Spring Finals — already the results of the spring games, where 8 top teams, which were ranked Top in previous tournaments, will meet. The winner receives $200, ,000 in prize money and a guaranteed ticket to BLAST World Final 2022.
July 2022
Another hot month in terms of interesting events. At the very least, shooter fans will be cheering on their teams in these tournaments:
-
ESL DH Valencia 2022 — July 1 (prize pool — $100,000);
-
ESL Impact Valencia 2022 — July 1 (prize pool — $100,000);
-
IEM XVII Cologne — July 5 (prize pool — $ 1 000 000).
The difference between ESL DH and ESL Impact is essentially the same — . The former is a universal tournament and is a qualifier for ESL Pro League Season 17, while the latter — is a strictly women's event to be held in Valencia, Spain.
But IEM XVII Cologne — is one of the biggest games from ESL, where 24 PRO squads will compete for $400 ,000 and an invitation to the BLAST World Final 2022. A serious trophy you can't let go of.
August 2022
Let's keep the heat on as we have 2 tournaments this month:

September-October 2022
Since there is only one major tournament in September, we decided to combine the 2 months:
-

-
ESL DH Rotterdam 2022 — October 14 (prize pool — $ 100 000);
-

Both ESL tournaments — a chance to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17. The only difference is that Melbourne has 8 teams battling it out in the ESL Challenger, while Rotterdam will only add a number of big name sponsors. In both cases, the winner receives $50, ,000 in prize money and a guaranteed trip to the Season 17 finals.
BLAST Fall Showdown — interim event for 16 teams from Europe and North America, where the winner will receive an invitation to the BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022.

-
ESL Pro S17 — November 22 (prize pool — $850,000);
-
BLAST Fall Finals 2022 — on November 23 (prize pool — $ 425 000).
Of course, the main attention of gamers will be focused on ESL Pro S17, because it is the biggest tournament from ESL and ESEA. The game is divided into qualification and the main part. Within the framework of the latter organizers will play between 24 teams not only the league cup, but also very fat prize money ($ 175 000 for the first place).
Tournament from BLAST — final of the fall season, where 8 teams will fight for the leadership and $ 200 000. The toothiest will also get a pass to the BLAST Premier World Final 2022.
