Event organiser StarLadder will host a Counter-Strike 2 Major in Budapest, officials were delighted to announce in the capital.
Zsolt Nyitrai, an adviser to the prime minister, said the announcement of the major, to culminate in a four-day playoff stage inside Budapest's MVM Dome, was "a big step forward" for Hungary in the area of esports and a "fantastic opportunity" to raise the country's global profile.
The event, with a USD 1.25 million prize pool, will run from November 24 to December 14, finishing at MVM Dome on December 11-14.
It is expected to draw around 40,000 tourists who will spend between EUR 65 and EUR 220 a day in Budapest.
