GO4Balkan donations officially open *

24-5-2014 14:00

With the GO4Balkan charity tournament for flood victims in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia set to start soon, the donation page is now officially open.

Faruk "pita" Pita's charity tournament for victims of the last week's flood in the Balkan region will take place today and the donation page has been set up at http://www.gofundme.com/GO4BalkanCharity.

* Update: The link has been updated as the http://www.gofundme.com/4BalkanCharity fund was stopped due to PayPal restrictions on a private account receiving more than 2,000€.

Millions of people were affected by this natural disaster and the GO4Balkan all-star tournament is an attempt to collect donations from the CS:GO community for those in need. You can find more info about the whole effort on our special page right here at www.hltv.org/go4balkan.

We remind you that SteelSeries will also be providing some prizes during the tournament:

The official stream on NiPTV will start at 15:00 , while the first match will commence one hour later between Filip "Neo" Kubski's squad #GO4Balkan and Pita's #GO4Bosnia.

The first prize will be handed out at 15:30 to one of the lucky donators, and this process will continue every 30 minutes until the tournament is over.

Remember that even if you are not able to donate, you can still help just by watching the matches and turning off Ad Block since all the ad revenue will go to the charity as well. You can also help by spreading the word to those around you, and by getting more people to be involved.

nice troll, but I really would lose hope in the csgo scene if anyone did it; then again I would not be surprised.

I'm sure that these DDoS attacks aren't organized just by CS:GO players.

2014-05-24 17:39

wow this event really should be seen for more people..just to show how a small group of people care about something and want to help. i think this would give esport (counterstrike) another reputation.

2014-05-24 17:51

zet my bro <3

VALVE should donate some money !

2014-05-24 17:52

2014-05-24 17:54

Volvo will may donate, but Valve, never.

2014-05-24 17:57

people lost their homes, family members... so let's get spawn to play CS:GO for those people. I'm sure it's helping a lot having top players play each other. GG.
