The world's best Counter-Strike and esports teams will descend onto London in September to compete for global glory.

The BLAST Premier London Open will take place at OVO Arena Wembley from September 5-7, bringing top-tier Counter-Strike competition back to the capital for a second year running.

The first stage will take place in the BLAST Studios in Copenhagen, where two groups of eight teams will battle it out in a double-elimination bracket to decide the six teams that will advance to playoffs.

After a short break, those teams will then make their way to London, where they will again do battle to see who will become the BLAST Premier Open champions and claim a lion's share of the $400,000 prize pool.
