The 20,000€ tournament at Copenhagen Games 2012 will begin Friday at 10:00, we now bring you a complete rundown of the schedule, allowing you to plan when to tune in.
The tournament will begin Friday with the group stage, which for a change will be played best-of-three maps. All thirty-one teams will advance to the playoffs, with top two placed teams in the groups going to the upper-bracket, while third and fourth placed teams will go in the lower-bracket. Friday will also feature round of 16 in the upper-bracket, while the remainder of the tournament will be played Saturday.
In regards to the playoffs, it is not pre-determined who will face who. As the group stage concludes, there will be a draw for the playoffs, with the only criteria for round one being that two teams who played each other in the group, can't play each other. In the upper-bracket a team placing first in the group will face a team finishing second in another group. In the lower-bracket, a team finishing third in the group, will be put up against a team placing fourth.
Below is a detailed schedule to guide you through the two days of Counter-Strike action. All times are listed in your local time zone, so make sure to edit it in your profile settings if you have not already. Please note that the times are subject to change.

Are you sure this is the correct video? dsn, cArn and pita with fnatic, karrigan with mouz pullover, I think I saw M5.. Didn't read the last year part, my fault.

What the fuck is up with best of one and best of two in the playoff stage? Best of three in groups is fantastic but not at the expense of a proper bracket. Jesus Hernandez Christ :/
