PTG Database Analysis
Flashpoint Season 1 ran from March 13 to April 19, 2020. Its 12-team format used double-elimination groups before double-elimination playoffs, and MAD Lions defeated MIBR in the final. The recorded prize pool was USD 1 million.[1][2]
The league moved the full competition from its planned Stockholm final to FACEIT’s Los Angeles studio during the COVID-19 outbreak. HLTV classifies the matches as online in North America, so the studio is recorded as the production venue rather than as a LAN arena.[2][3]
Pinnacle was named Flashpoint’s first official sponsor shortly before the season began.[5]
