Alright, strap in—here’s the lowdown on the CSGO Global Tournament 2025. There’s honestly no other way to say it: this season’s gonna be nuts. The action kicks off in September, rolling all the way through December. We’re talking online bloodbaths and big-ticket LANs sprinkled from gloomy Moscow to neon-lit Hong Kong. It’s kind of a smorgasbord of high-stakes Counter-Strike, so even if you’re just here for the memes or the spray transfers, you’re covered.
Summary
September 2025
No 1. Galaxy Battle 2025 Phase 4


Fires up online across Europe from September 21 to October 12. Picture 24 squads vying for fifty grand—not exactly the GDP of a small nation, but nothing to sneeze at. Winner bags $25k (good luck retiring on that), second gets $11k, third and fourth split $4k each, and fifth through eighth divide a leftover $15k like hungry kids at a birthday party.
No 2. Winline Insight Season 8


Gotta love some overlap—this one’s running Sept 22 to Oct 9, also online, also in Europe. Only 16 teams this time, same $50k pile, winner still pockets half. It’s a proper knife fight for scraps after first place, though: $15k for second, $7,500 for third, and just $2,500 for fourth. Summed up? Play clean and don’t blink.
No 3. Majestic LanDaLan 3

Moscow’s hosting eight killer lineups from Sept 25-28. $50k up for grabs, $30k drips into the winner’s pockets, second pleads for $10k, and the rest split what’s left like couch change. If you dig LAN vibes—sweaty palms, roaring crowd, shaky hands—this is your jam.
October 2025
No 1. ESL Proleague Season 22

Now we’re talking. Stockholm, Oct 3-12. Sixteen teams and a cool million bucks on the line. Winner grabs a humble $100k—hey, taxman’s smiling. Basically, everyone leaves with at least gas money, which is more than most get for playing games all day. Massive, in every way.
No 2. CS Asia Championships 2025


Next flight: Shanghai, Oct 14-19. Sixteen squads, another $1M (everyone’s throwing big bags this year). Top dog: $150k, but even second and third get sizable slices. If you’re a fan of Asian CS hypstrats—wild buys, bold pushes—you’ll love this.
No 3. PGL Master Bucharest 2025


Romania, Oct 26-Nov 1. Bigger pot: $1.25M. First place nets $200k, which’ll buy you a decent apartment in Bucharest—or, like, two GPUs in 2025. Deep payout structure means every match matters, seriously, so don’t snooze after group stage.
CSGO Global Tournament 2025: November 2025
No 1. IEM Chengdu 2025


Back to China, Nov 3-9. Sixteen teams, million-dollar prize, again because why not. Winners gets $125k—everyone else fights for what’s left. At this point, these teams are basically living out of suitcases and snack bars.
No 2. Blast Rivals 2025 Season 2

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, Nov 12-16. Just 8 teams, $350k—smaller, but the action’s tight. Fewer games, higher stress. Fans? Buckle up.
No 3. StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 2


Budapest, Nov 29-Dec 2. Sixteen teams, $80k. Not the biggest check, but the timing? Chef’s kiss. If you’re an underdog, THIS is where you go full anime-protagonist.
December 2025
No 1. StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

Final stop: Budapest. December 4-14. Sixteen squads. $1.17 million just waiting for someone’s sweaty hands. This isn’t just about the cash—it’s bragging rights, memes for days, and permanent esports bragging rights. Whoever snags this is basically king of CS for the year.
Conclusion
Alright, What’s cool, though? The organizers seem to get that nobody wants a lopsided prize split—so everyone’s genuinely playing for something, not just getting stomped for kicks. It’s gonna be about grit, brains. Anyway, bottom line: if you’re not watching or at least doomscrolling r/CsGo during all this, you’re missing history in the making. Maybe even a new clutch meme. Get your popcorn (or your Red Bull—no judgment).
