By: lurppis
Time: 2013-03-02 23:43
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

ESEA has announced the schedule for its Season 13 European Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Open league playoffs taking place online over the next month.

A total of sixteen teams have qualified for ESEA Open Season 13 playoffs, where they will compete for a prize purse of $2,750 and a chance to get into ESEA Invite for Season 14.

Although the bracket hasn't been published yet with the first round of upper bracket scheduled to take place on Monday March 11, below are some of the most notable teams to make it:

Torqued Epsilon LowLandLions TeamCRG
POPPERS Team Refuse Karont3 MaxFloPlay

The playoffs will be held in a best-of-one double elimination bracket, and the full schedule for each round and maps have been published now. Default match time for each game is 20:30.

Teams are only allowed to reschedule matches within a 24-hour period from the original match time, and only if both teams agree, so the default dates will likely stick for most matches.

de_cache
so round one could be called de_random :P
2013-03-02 23:47:41
de_cache is not hard yet nice map, should be played as much as possible to stop mirage/d2/nuke/inferno/train same thing over and over again
you sound like hardcore 1.6 fan, because every new thing/ new map / new idea is throwed in trash by default (have such friends also)
I want de_cache and de_seasons on tourneys also!
or any other new good map

De_cache is just not tactical at all. Season is awesome though just like in Source.
2013-03-03 00:38:14
I have to say ur statement is pure bullshit.
2013-03-03 05:11:09
Come on, please de_cache has so limited possibilities. You can't really throw any grenades and stuff. The map is just too "easy".
2013-03-03 16:16:18
or u just havent played it.
2013-03-03 17:36:51
I obviously have played it. ^_^
2013-03-03 17:44:21
It's awful imho
2013-03-03 10:31:32
yes, but esea uses all the regular season maps...and im glad to see that they arent using maps like cache and mill_b2 at the end of the playoffs...i like how they are atleast trying to get them out of the way in the beginning
