In the first two seasons, the first four of these events from the last ten were to be won in order to receive the Grand Slam title and thus prize money of one million US dollars. Six victories are required since season 3. Alternatively, four are still enough if one of these wins was achieved either at ESL One Cologne, IEM Katowice or a Valve Major tournament hosted by ESL or DreamHack.
