LimeLightGaming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Open Series

Greetings, LimeLightGaming will be running a [Image: small_10.png]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive tournament for all of those who are interested.

The format for the tournament will be as follows:

There will be two initial group stage matches in which two teams go head to head in a BO1. This will happen twice. The two winners of the group will then go head to head in another BO1 and the winner of that match will be immediately put forward into the quarter finals.

This will happen for every group which will fill up 4 of the available 8 spaces for the quarter finals.

Then, the remaining 3 teams in the group will play. Let's call the remaining teams "TEAM 1, TEAM 2 & TEAM 3". Team 1 will then play team 2 in another BO1. If team 1 win, team 2 will be out of the tournament and team 1 will play team 3 in another BO1. Whoever wins this final match will get the last place for the group in the quarter-finals.

This will also happen for every group which will fill up all 8 of the 8 available spaces in the quarter finals.

The format is then pretty simple from there, we have 4 quarter final matches, the winners of these head to the semi-finals and then the winners of those head to the finals.

So:
GROUP STAGE 1 - BO1
GROUP STAGE 2 - BO1
QUARTER FINALS - BO3
SEMI FINALS - BO3
FINALS - BO3

If you do not understand my explanation of the format, just look up the recent ESL One Cologne format in-game or at this link: https://www.esl-one.com/csgo/cologne-2015/standings/

Maps are decided through choice & elimination in the VETO process.

This format is subject to change depending on how many teams and applicants there are, so any changes will be made on this thread, including an up to-date-diagram when the teams are finalised.

There is not yet a confirmed date for the tournament, as we need all team rosters finalised before deciding how long the event will take.

There will be a prize pool for the winning teams & semi-finalists as follows:

SEMI-FINALISTS - 250K for team. (50k each)
Massive thanks to Wood for funding this prize pool!

The event will be casted and streamed live on

Twitch for you to watch if you wish.

Unfortunately, GOTV will not be enabled on the server due to port issues we have, so you will have to watch through Twitch if you wish to tune in as the only people allowed in the spectator positions are the casters to avoid any ghosting.

If you wish to register for this event, you can do so either as a team or a solo player (we will place you in a team) using the templates below:

This Counter Strike: Global-Offensive tournament is sponsored by

LimeLightGaming & Avalanche Hosting LTD. We thank Avalanche Hosting LTD for providing the CS:GO servers to us (cheers wood).

Hello teams! All groups in detail are listed below.

The tournament will start on Friday October 2nd at 18:00 BST (GMT+1) and will (hopefully) finish on Sunday 4th.
On that day, we will most likely only make it through the first group stages for groups A + possibly group B, since the first group stages for all groups consists of 12 games anyway (3 per group).

You can view the countdown here if you are unsure of when it begins:
