PGL takes Asia Minor to Seoul

Romanian company PGL has announced a partnership with KeSPA to host the Asia Minor Championship in Seoul, next month.

With Counter-Strike continuing to grow at an incredible rate in Asia, PGL announced that it plans to "reinvent" the CS:GO scene in the region through a partnership with KeSPA, the governing body of esports in South Korea.

Taking place from May 5-8 at the Nexon eSports Arena, in Seoul, the Asian Minor will feature eight teams, who will compete for $50,000 in prize money and two spots at the offline qualifier for the ESL One Cologne Major.

Visitors will be able to watch the matches at the Nexon eSports Arena free of charge, with the tournament also being broadcast on South Korean television - which is a first for a CS:GO competition.
