I midten af april løber en af Danmarks absolut største LAN-events af stablen, når Copenhagen Games 2014 bliver afviklet. På programmet er spiltitler som League of Legends og Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, og til sidstnævnte er der i dag blevet annonceret mere information omkring, hvordan turneringen kommer til at forløbe.
Arrangørerne har megen erfaring med afvikling af turneringer, og i dag er arrangørerne så klar til at løfte sløret for de regler, der danner grundlag for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-turneringen ved Copenhagen Games 2014. Mest iøjnefaldende er uden tvivl valget med at fjerne veto i gruppespillet. Det vil altså sige, at der skal spilles forudbestemte maps.
The CS:GO tournament will be group stages that moves onto brackets. The group stage will be played in BO3 – no veto and the groups will be seeded in 3 layers: 1 high seed, 1 low seed and 2 non-seeded teams.
The seeding will be done from the list of paid participants, as no invites will be given to any teams. The two top teams from each group will move on to the A brackets that will be played in the double elimination BO3 upper/BO1 lower format. The two other teams will move on the B brackets with a similar format.
