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	fnatic	vs.	Team SoloMid
18:00	EnVyUs	vs.	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:

Sebastian "TataStrumf" Honciuc (Host)
Rachel "Seltzer" Quirico (Hostess)

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?

u r really dumb if you thing cheating=only aim assist. there is plenty ways to cheat: aim assist, ghosting, abusing illegal bugs, wh, radar hack et.

4 replies

i know. but neither abusing(something like tec9 etc) is cheating. And the bug wasn´t illegal(maybe exept the one wall.but he wasn´t using it

2015-04-22 14:53

tec9 is legal so it s not cheating, omg, get a brain dude. the bug from dh on overpass wa illegal as fuck! if it was legal when why rematch?

2015-04-22 14:56

god man you should get a brain. they first wanted to replay second half. eg 12-3.then fnatic complained because ldlc used a similar bug.so they wanted to replay complete overpass. then fnatic decided too ff cause of the community hate

2015-04-22 15:22

bs, it wasnt the case, if it was true than nip match should be replayed too cuz nip used the same boost what ldlc.

2015-04-22 15:33

2015-04-09 21:44

Name suits you. Brain from the masses of retards in this site

2015-04-10 08:12

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.

2015-04-10 09:28

another event with trash casters, oh well maybe in a few years.

casters from now on will only be appealing to the younger audience which is probably like 60% of csgo community. fcking monkey boys buying boosts and cheats

2015-04-09 21:35

all you need to do these days is yell like a retard when someone gets a headshot, having any kind of knowledge about the game is irrelevant, its so fuckin stupid.

2015-04-09 21:34

tobi? ITS A BLACK HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE

FUCK ME THORIN

2015-04-09 21:36

Thoorin & Lewis combo is so guuuuuuuuud, I don't know how natu is going to fit in

Kinda bad pairs in the matches, as they were in the same qualifying groups. Also Richard Lewis as analyst top kek m8.

Most boring analyst desk ever.

2015-04-09 21:41

What do you mean, I don't see Vendetta in the list

But there's Natu and Lewis. Thorin is sometimes entertaining with his rudeness at least.

2015-04-09 22:16

I agree natu is kinda bland, but Lewis and Thoorin have good chemistry, I enjoyed them a lot in the recent Gfinity event along with Scoots

2015-04-09 22:34

Tobiwan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> universe

rip NiP

2015-04-09 21:43

Ty Mira for using the Romanian flag. I can die happy now.
