ESEA has announced the location and date for their Season 13 finals featuring $10,080 Counter-Strike 1.6 and $36,000 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments.

The playoffs continue to take place in the Greater Dallas area, as the ESEA Invite Season 13 finals will be held on April 19-21 at Doubletree by Hilton Near the Galleria, North of downtown Dallas.

Both Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments will be played out in a double elimination best-of-three bracket, promising heaps of CS action on the third weekend of April.


NiP, VeryGames and Quantic Gaming will compete at ESEA playoffs 

ESEA has secured deals both with the hotel the event is hosted at, and with American Airlines and Air Canada, allowing travelers to knock the price down of their trip.

As posted earlier today, all eight teams for the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament have been found and the seedings finalized. Four Counter-Strike 1.6 teams have also been confirmed:

CS:GO North America CS:GO Europe CS 1.6 North America

2. Curse 2. VeryGames 2. undertow
3. Team Dynamic 3. Virtus.pro 3. Underdogs
4. Netcode Illuminati 4. n!faculty 4. Mobility Gaming

A total of $46,080 will be given out in the two Counter-Strike tournaments, including a whopping $36,000 in the global CS:GO tournament which will feature both North American and European teams:

CS:GO Global CS 1.6 North America
1. $17,500 1. $4,800

Why doesn't Europe have a 1.6 league? Some people still like to play even if they would not make the final LAN trip to Dallas

yea beacuse Dosia and VP cant be 3rd beacuse they "suck"...u can be happy if american team wins 4th place...
2013-03-02 03:55:19
Cool. I'm calling it like I see it regardless of nationality, thanks for the low blow.

Does your country even have a good team?
2013-03-02 04:24:26
my country doesnt have even a team and never will, but even if i was from USA i wouldnt said that. I'm just saying that EU teams are much better than USA teams, so u cant go saying:"Dynamic 3rd" when u have VP and n!faculty.

Sry for the low blow its 4:30 am here im dizzy and not in the mood :P
2013-03-02 04:33:43
Quantic beat nfaculty in ESWC, and I think Dynamic is better than quantic so I simply disagree.

As for VP, who knows about them. Sometimes they do well, other times they just seem mediocre. I'm not putting much faith in them. It's very possible they have a good LAN and place third.
2013-03-02 04:35:58
n! are also unpredictable.However the match vs n! and VP is gonna be interesting to watch :)

yeah he definitely isn't allowed to predict that a team from his country (who has defeated area51, who easily beat n!faculty at eswc) could beat another one.

what an outrage..............
2013-03-02 05:29:42
Will you be playing in titletown along with neo ?
2013-03-02 12:14:19
by: lurppis - HLTV.org

neo won't be playing, that was just a troll. i will play with dboorn, swag, n0thing and not sure who will be our fifth
2013-03-02 19:11:03
he can say anything he wants about this game, teams etc. that what this site is all about isnt it? And That was long time ago when they won against n!faculty, just saying n! got better and its gonna be quite a close match.

"what an outrage" I wasnt angry or even a little, I was just saying my opinion.

2013-03-02 19:13:28
