FURIA Joins the Race for the ESL Grand Slam

FURIA Esports didn’t just add another trophy to their collection with that IEM Chengdu 2025 win. They kicked off a real shot at something bigger. FalleN and his teammates have literally thrown themselves into the race for the ESL Grand Slam Season 6 title — with a $1,000,000 prize on the line. 

FURIA needs to secure three more ESL tournament victories to claim the Grand Slam. At least one of those wins must come from a Major — meaning IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, or an ESL Major. After their first victory, the team still has nine more attempts to complete the challenge.

Currently, Team Spirit and Vitality also fight for the title, having one and two ESL trophies in their possession accordingly. With that, the competition for the title of the world's best team in the ESL Pro Tour is surely going to be extremely huge in 2025.

ESL Grand Slam series is one of the most prestigious achievements in the world's Counter-Strike arena. It does not only determine which team or player is the strongest but has come to serve as an indicator of consistency, dominance, and excellence on the international stage.
