CCS casters, match-ups revealed

PGL has announced the caster lineup and the match-ups for the CS:GO Championship (CCS) Kick-off Season offline finals.

From April 24-26, DreamHack Bucharest will play host to the offline finals of the CCS Kick-off season, featuring the top four sides from the online stages, who will be facing off for the bulk of the $75,000 prize fund.

EnVyUs and Team SoloMid topped their respective groups and thus went straight into the offline semi-finals, while Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic had to go through the last-chance stage.


NiP and EnVyUs to face each other in CCS semi-finals 

The draw has thrown up a repeat of the Gfinity Spring Masters final, between EnVyUs and NiP. The other semi-final will see fnatic and Team SoloMid go head-to-head just days after facing each other in Fight Night.

Below you can find the complete timetable for the event:

Friday, April 24:
15:00 Sweden fnatic vs. Denmark Team SoloMid
18:00 France EnVyUs vs. Sweden NiP
Saturday, April 25:
11:00 Lower Bracket Final
14:00 Upper Bracket Final
18:00 Consolidation Final
Sunday, April 26:
17:00 Grand final

Meanwhile, PGL has announced that the CCS casting duo of Toby "TobiWan" Dawson and Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett will be joined by an analyst panel consisting of Duncan "Thorin" Shields, Richard Lewis and Joona "⁠natu⁠" Leppänen. The event will be hosted by Sebastian "TataStrumf" Honciuc and Rachel "Seltzer" Quirico.

The full talent lineup for the CCS finals is the following:

  • Romania Sebastian "TataStrumf" Honciuc (Host)
  • United States Rachel "Seltzer" Quirico (Hostess)
  • Australia Toby "TobiWan" Dawson (Commentator)
  • Canada Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett (Commentator)

You must be the same pathetic r0kam kid or whatever the fuck from Reddit. You said the same thing twice and in the history of both accounts you've never once been positive. Fuck off troll. Not to mention you failed both times to realize fnatic is there so it's not easy for NV. Seriously, do you even fucking play this game? Or are you just here to pick on everyone to offset the amount of times you had your ass kicked in grade school?

so bcs i have realized that his english is not good enuff to cast in english and that he cant provide spot on analysis or sound confident and interesting for that reason im retarded? and the fact that he has a shitty overall player rating in csgo doesnt mean that he is a rather shitty player compared to the top players? yeah alright then.

Agree about Tosspot, Tobi is still a bit new to the game I think, Sadokist seems alright, at least better than Semmler in play-by-play casting.
