ESWC has announced that it will host a CS:GO tournament during Paris Games Week with 16 teams and $80,000 on offer.

After hosting an event in the Canadian city of Montreal earlier this month, ESWC has revealed the first details about its upcoming international competition, which will take place from October 29 to November 1 as part of the Paris Games Week fair.

A total of ten games will be played at ESWC 2015 PGW, including Counter-Strike, which will have a 16-team tournament with a prize pool of $80,000 (a $5,000 increase from the event in Montreal).

Both the group stage and the playoffs will feature in a best-of-three format, with one match per day being played on the ESWC main stage, including the grand final.

Teams can apply for a spot at ESWC 2015 PGW by filling out a registration form. The participants will be selected based on motivation and past achievements, even though ESWC says that it will try to "ensure the greatest nationality diversity possible."

It is worth noting that some top teams will not be able to attend the event as it clashes with DreamHack Open Cluj, which will have a $40,000 tournament.
