“We are extremely excited and proud to host the next Major in Brazil,” said ESL senior vice president Ulrich Schulze.
"Our aim is to bring pure esports moments to the most passionate fans around the world and reward them by creating a unique experience on all levels.
"With teams from all over the world having a chance to qualify and making their way to the final, we expect the matches to be incredible and the crowd to be the loudest we have ever seen."
An ESL staff member on Reddit added: “Brazil has a huge fan base and has never had a Major, and our prior CSGO events in Brazil have been encouraging.
“When it comes to soundproof booths, it's a conversation internally at ESL atm and, down the line, it will be with other stakeholders.”
