Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The Copenhagen Games organisers have shed some light on how the event's CS:GO tournament has been structured.

After the last editions of Copenhagen Games were a resounding success, the community is highly anticipating the 2013 event, which will be held between March 27th to 31st at Øksnehallen, an exhibition centre in the heart of the Danish capital.

The main CS:GO tournament, which will feature a prize purse amounting to €33,000, will consist of 32 teams, 16 of whom will be picked by the organisation out of all the applicants.

The remaining 16 sides will come from the 32-team qualifier, which will take place one day before the main tournament.

On March 29th, the main tournament will kick off with the group stage, which will consist of eight groups of four teams. The group winners and runners-up will progress to the Upper Bracket, while the third and fourth-placed sides will have to fight for survival in the Lower Bracket.

2013-02-20 09:13:29
I really hope it's Bo3 all the way straight through.
2013-02-20 10:30:37
Best format ever
2013-02-20 12:27:17
Yeah I agree, I used it for insomnia46 & also epic.TEN last weekend, and it worked brilliantly, just need a proper schedule to cope with such a way. But I believe it is by far the fairest way to sort the men from the boys.
2013-02-20 13:33:28
Indeed. bo3 its the way to sort men from boys yes.

It would be really great to see a BO5 final or in this case of double elim., first to three maps with upper bracket winner having one map bonus.

Of course this is only possible if everything runs smoothly and time of the finals is early enough.

2013-02-20 13:08:58
Hope that the Grand Final doesn't end at 7am like in css last year...
2013-02-20 14:03:24
hahaha that was insane
2013-02-20 14:06:29
I don't even know why i stayed up for this haha
2013-02-20 17:16:53
I guess that the delay was because every single map ended up in 3 or 4 overtimes. That was just insane with all those overtimes...
2013-02-20 14:52:45
The OT added delay, but the final started at 2 or 3am anyway...
2013-02-20 17:16:34
Ya but there wer OT in all the other matches before the final, those OT's delayed to tournament
2013-02-20 19:29:59
You're right
2013-02-20 20:07:26
Nobody cares about formats, just dont delay the games 2 fucking hours, and everything is fine
