All forty players for this Saturday's Areena #3 CS:GO by SteelSeries gather tournament taking place at Pelitalo in Helsinki, Finland have been confirmed.

Although captains aren't set in stone yet, you can expect the likes of Joona "natu" Leppänen, Aleksi "allu" Jalli and Timo "reflex" Rintala to be among the players picking teams on Saturday morning.

A total of eight captains will be pre-determined and the teams will be picked using the snake draft order starting at 09:00 . Matches are scheduled to kick off at 10:00 .

natu will be one of the captains at Areena #3 CS:GO by SteelSeries

You can find the full prize distribution as well as the preliminary schedule for the event here. Frag.fi has been added as a new sponsor for the event, as they will be providing the servers.

The event will give you a chance to watch many less known players get a shot at playing with the best Finns. GOTVs will be available for all games and anyone is free to stream the event.

8 Captains who choose one player at a time like this 12345678-87654321-12345678-87654321 and then games begin.

2013-08-08 13:20

ohh ok, interesting way of proceeding

2013-08-08 14:10

Well not exactly! The same way I atleast used to pick football teams in elementary school. It's gather tournament so that you can't make premade teams with all your bestfriends in one team and the teams should be as equal as possible in terms of skill.

2013-08-08 14:13

well yes... you don't approve making teams this way ?

2013-08-09 00:47

It's a good way to pick teams. Like I said this way the teams should be as equal as possible!

2013-08-09 12:00

yeah and i guess the atmosphere between playrs is better than on a classic lan, due to the fact they all have to mix with each other

2013-08-09 12:26

Well we see that tomorrow! Of course there are very competitive people playing that that the games can go to nose jobs as well! Hah! ;)

2013-08-09 13:00

NO ASLAK NO PARTY

2013-08-08 13:21
