This will be an online CS:GO tournament featuring eight teams in total. Gambit, Astralis, Fnatic, and Entropiq have received direct invites, while BIG, ECSTATIC, and K23 qualified through their Funspark rank. The list is wrapped up by Extra Salt, who won the Finals in April 2021 over BIG.

The eight teams will compete in a double-elimination bracket and all of the matches will be best-of-three series, except for the grand finals, which will use a best-of-five format where the team from the upper bracket starts with a one-map advantage.

This year’s Funspark ULTI Finals will be cast by the duo of Harry “JustHarry” Russell and Hugo Byron, while Alex “⁠Mauisnake⁠” Ellenberg and Aleksandar “⁠kassad⁠” Trifunović commanding the analysis segments. This will be the first tournament of 2022 where CS:GO fans will be able to watch how tier-one teams like Gambit and Astralis are looking after the player break.
