In the 2022 PGL Antwerp CS:GO Major, FaZe Clan emerged as the victors after beating Natus Vincere, who won the previous tournament.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDue to the Danish company consistently hosting some of the highest quality <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/tournaments\/\">esports events<\/a>, fans, players, and talent alike requested that Valve allow the company to host one of the Majors.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe 2023 Major will be BLAST\u2019s first Major since the company entered the CS:GO scene almost six years ago. At the time, they were named RFRSH Entertainment.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAlthough the esports production company and organizer have experience hosting small to mid-scale events in several countries over the years, a tournament of this magnitude will be the most monumental feat in the company\u2019s history. If successfully accomplished, the 2023 Major could be BLAST\u2019s crowning achievement.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumours are circulating the first CS:GO Major of 2023 will be held in France, with Paris expected to be the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":22636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2196,11,16,23],"class_list":["post-23695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-blast","tag-csgo","tag-fr","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23695"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23696,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23695\/revisions\/23696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
