- Getting Info
For the likes of NRG, M80, and Wildcard, NA Series 1 acts as a chance for the teams to lay the foundations for a strong end to 2025 following disappointing performances at the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
M80 is ranked 31st in the August global VRS, while NRG is 38th, and Wildcard currently lies in 49th. A strong performance in CCT could see either of the sides gain valuable momentum.
Series 1 is one of four taking place throughout the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, offering teams from the region a chance to compete in one of Counter-Strike 2’s biggest online tournament circuits.
Founded in 2022, the CCT has continued to host online and offline Tier 2 events for teams across Europe and the Americas. In April, the Season 2 Global Finals saw eight teams compete for a $150,000 (~£111,840) prize pool, with HEROIC emerging victorious.
