Major 1 LAN in Madrid

The Major 1 LAN takes place in Madrid from January 30-February 2.

The schedule will be available in full following the culmination of the qualifier matches.

Minor 1: Mid-split online tournament

For the first time, the Major cycle will include mid-Stage ‘Minor’ tournaments. These are single elimination and grant extra CDL points based on the Major standings at the mid-point of qualifiers.

After a disappointing opening for Black Ops 6, Atlanta FaZe turned up the heat and absolutely demolished the competition in this tournament. They’re back in World Champion form for Major 1.

Meanwhile, LA Thieves’ performance was so disappointing to Nadeshot that he tweeted at the team directly, saying, “I don’t want to see our guys log off the game until the first major.”

Here’s the full match schedule:
