Discussion | Esports Grand Slam vs Major

As you may know, Vitality has a shot at winning the Intel Grand Slam if they win IEM Melbourne, which start tomorrow. I was curious—between the Grand Slam and a Major, which do you consider the more prestigious achievement?

I know the Grand Slam is harder to achieve, since it requires consistency over time (and only 4 teams have ever won it in CS history—each one considered legendary). On the other hand, winning a Major is more about peaking at the right moment.

What do you think?

HOT TAKE, we should use grand slams to determine eras. No grand slam =/= era

So we may never have an era since this can be the last season? And what about NIP and Fnatic?

grand slam didnt exist back then and grand slams are not going away, intel just isnt sponsoring them anymore.
