ELEAGUE has revealed the first details about its next tournament, called ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018, which will be held in the summer.

Taking place at the ELEAGUE Arena, in Atlanta, the tournament will feature just eight teams, who will be drawn into a double-elimination, best-of-three group, running from July 21-25.

The top four teams from the group will secure spots in the single-elimination playoffs, which will culminate with the grand final on Sunday, July 29. No details about the prize fund for the tournament have so far been released.

FaZe won the first ELEAGUE Premier tournament

The announcement was made live on stream during the special pre-match programming ahead of the ELEAGUE Major Boston final, which will pit FaZe against Cloud9.

ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 will be broadcast exclusively on Twitch, with which Turner Sports recently agreed an exclusivity deal.

This will be the second ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier tournament, and the fourth non-Major competition hosted by Turner Sports. ELEAGUE Premier 2017 ran from September 8 to October 13 and was topped by FaZe, who won the lion's share of the tournament's $1 million prize pool.
