WINNERS League has long been a chance for CSGO teams that aren’t yet at the top level to prove themselves. Over the past three seasons, WINNERS League has allowed these competitive but often overlooked CSGO teams to build a legacy and fight their way to the top tier of Counter-Strike esports. The competition only gets more meaningful each year, as the competition gets stronger and the audience continues to grow. 

"We're seeing a lot of that growth already. Not only am I excited about the Invite Division this season, but our Main Division has some big contenders as well, with plenty of notable teams in the running," explained Nick Gorbunov, WINNERS League Project Lead.
