Turner and IMG's ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017 will begin Group A competition this Friday, Sept. 8, at 10 p.m. ET on TBS, with four teams - FaZe Clan, Na'Vi, G2 Esports and Renegades - contending for two playoff spots and a larger share of the event's $1 million prize pool. Live digital coverage of ELEAGUE's return to Valve's Counter Strike: Global Offensive will include live matches beginning at 6 p.m. across Twitch, ELEAGUE.com, and YouTube in additional to the Friday night showcase. Live Group A matches will continue Saturday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m. across those digital platforms.

ELEAGUE will showcase a collection of Europe's top CS:GO teams in Group A, including the highly-anticipated new rosters for FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere (Na'Vi), along with French superteam G2 Esports and playoff hopeful Renegades. The four-team stage will also see former Na'Vi teammates Danylo Zeus Teslenko and Ladislav GuardiaN Kov cs face each other for the first time. GuardiaN and former Fnatic superstar Olof Olofmeister Kajbjer Gustafsson joined FaZe Clan, while Na'Vi added Zeus as an in-game leader after he won the most recent Major.

The two winning teams that emerge from Group A's double-elimination bracket will earn a playoff spot, beginning with the quarterfinals on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 10 and 11. Live Premier coverage will continue with Group B (Sept. 15-16), following the same weekly schedule, along with Group C (Sept. 22-23) and Group D (Sept. 29-30).

The ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017 is part of a consistent schedule of live Friday night ELEAGUE programming airing regularly at 10 p.m. on TBS through Thanksgiving, with the ELEAGUE Injustice 2 World Championship set to follow in late October.
