The organizers of FiReLEAGUE 2022: Global Finals have managed to secure a solid location for the offline CS:GO tournament which is scheduled to take place from 13^th to 16^th October later this year.

FC Barcelona's home stadium is one of the most famous football venues in the world. It has the capacity to host a mammoth 99,354 spectators and was opened to the public in September 1957.

Now, it is all set to feature an offline CS:GO tournament with eight competing teams - two direct invites, three qualifying through various tournaments, and three making their way through upcoming qualifiers.

9z Team is one of the participants that has been granted a spot as they were the champions of FiReLEAGUE 2021. Apart from them, Imperial Esports has received and accepted one of the two direct invites. Now, six more slots remain to be occupied in the weeks leading up to the event.

The format of FiReLEAGUE 2022: Global Finals consists of just one stage, directly starting with the playoffs which features a single-elimination bracket where each match will be a best-of-three series, except for the grand final which will witness a best-of-five series.

A live audience will be present for the CS:GO tournament on the final day which means the two finalists will be playing in front of a crowd at the grand Camp Nou, a mighty incredible experience!
