Prize pool and dates

The prize pool for the Esports World Cup 2024 CS2 tournament is set to be $1,000,000 with the best Esports Clubs (organizations) standing a chance to win over $60,000,000. The tournament starts on July 17 and ends on July 21, 2024. Hence the format is bound to give very few chances to teams that do not perform well.

Venue

The event will commence on July 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at Boulevard City. One of the biggest Esports festivals in the world, the Esports World Cup will host matches and events for multiple games including CS2, DOTA 2, Fortnite, and more. IEM Dalls only recently ended with G2 Esports securing the win for good.

The victory is very recent due to which they may not have received direct invites like the other champions on the list. However, their ESL World Ranking is high enough for them to be currently regarded as one of the best teams in CS2.

Other teams like FaZe Clan and Team Vitality have not had the best time this year with Vitality coming very close to defeating G2 for the IEM Dallas crown. All of these rivals will face one another once again at the Esports World Cup.
