The ELeague Major: Boston 2018 is a gaming tournament based on the popular iteration of the Counter-Strike series, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, developed by Valve Corporation. The tournament took place in January 12th 2018, with 24 world-class teams, each composed of 5 players, competing in a bracket-like system to win a $1,000,000 USD prize pool.

The resulting victory of team Cloud10 has been widely considered a legendary moment in the Esports scene. Despite Counter-Strike major tournaments existing since 2001, Cloud9 was the first North American team to have ever won the title.
