Eight of North America's strongest locked horns in the last two days in the very first edition of Alienware Area 51 CS:GO Cup, a $10,000 invitational tournament managed by ESEA and presented by Curse.

The biggest uspet of the tournament came right in the opening stage as CLG, who were in attendance at ESL One Katowice earlier this month, were eliminated following a 1-2 defeat at the hands of eLevate

David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido's side, who recently made headlines when they recruited ex-iBUYPOWER member desi, went on to beat Area51 to reach the grand final against Liquid, who beat Denial and Luminosity en route to the title decider.

Liquid, who snared EliGE from eLevate just days ago, got off to a great start in the series and took a one-map lead following a 16-8 victory on de_overpass. But eLevate responded in convincing fashion and turned things around with 16-12 and 16-13 wins on de_cache and de_dust2, respectively.
