ASUS sub-brand ROG has announced that it will host a cross-continent tournament series with $250,000 up for grabs in CS:GO.

Running from June to November, the ROG Masters will encompass over 30 countries worldwide and have four different stages, in order to cater to both professional and up-and-coming teams.

There will be three major regions: APAC (Asia-Pacific), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and the Americas, each one featuring open qualifiers, regional qualifiers and regional finals. China will have its own qualifying circuit, featuring an open stage and national finals.
