PTG Database Analysis

The Montréal CS:GO finals ran July 10–12, 2015, at the Société des arts technologiques (SAT), with Oxent as organizer. Sixteen teams played a four-group, best-of-one round robin; the top eight advanced to best-of-three playoffs. Natus Vincere defeated Cloud9 in the final. The USD 150,000 total combined USD 75,000 in placement prizes and USD 75,000 in team travel support.[2][3][4]

Liquipedia classifies the tournament as S-Tier and lists ten sponsor entities linked in the partnership inventory. Its sponsor field also names Paris Games Week, but ESWC’s official archive describes the October Paris Games Week tournament as a separate 2015 event with its own venue and partner list. The Montréal official partner list differs from Liquipedia’s sponsor field; only verified, canonicalized relationships are rendered here, and the difference remains in the source record for further reconciliation.[1][2][5]
