ESWC PGW with $80,000 tournament

30-7-2015 20:17

ESWC has announced that it will host a CS:GO tournament during Paris Games Week with 16 teams and $80,000 on offer.

After hosting an event in the Canadian city of Montreal earlier this month, ESWC has revealed the first details about its upcoming international competition, which will take place from October 29 to November 1 as part of the Paris Games Week fair.

A total of ten games will be played at ESWC 2015 PGW, including Counter-Strike, which will have a 16-team tournament with a prize pool of $80,000 (a $5,000 increase from the event in Montreal).

ESWC and Counter-Strike return to Paris Games Week

Both the group stage and the playoffs will feature in a best-of-three format, with one match per day being played on the ESWC main stage, including the grand final.

Teams can apply for a spot at ESWC 2015 PGW by filling out a registration form. The participants will be selected based on motivation and past achievements, even though ESWC says that it will try to "ensure the greatest nationality diversity possible."

It is worth noting that some top teams will not be able to attend the event as it clashes with DreamHack Open Cluj, which will have a $40,000 tournament.

Oh boy

ESWC has a reputation of being shit after it changed owners. So like 2011 to today i believe its always had issues it promises to fix and never does.

2015-07-30 23:31

2014 Paris. /done

2015-07-30 23:38

That guy is actually right. Since they have new owners they became less popular.

2015-07-31 02:24

Popular but not complete shot

2015-07-31 04:13

Metro Loomin dont want some more :_(

Last ESWC was shit but it doesn't mean this one has to be

I wouldn't hate to much, I think the main reason why ESWC Montreal went so terribly was a lack of experience in the staff members who were overseeing event planning and the tech site of things.

2015-07-30 20:28

yes, a tradition of failure and shame much like the american healthcare system

14 replies

Finish idiot.... We don't even have a good enough health care system to call it a health care system. But hey I'm sure finaland has plenty of 3 figure jobs I can have so I should move yes?

Average Finn makes a lot more money than average american.

2015-07-30 22:00

Not my point. Nice job jumping to conclusions. My point was the amount of job opportunities in the US that allowed for a 3 figure salary. In other words in total we have more people making 3 figures than finalnd has.

2015-07-30 22:53

Yes because Finland has way more 4 figure jobs, and in germany there are almost only 4 figure jobs...

2015-07-30 23:52

go to australia, we actually have a health care system that is free to all citizens, where it doesn't cost you $20000 to go to the hospital

2015-07-31 06:48

+1 Canada Healthcare > US Healthcare

Too bad USA servers = Canadian servers

DELAYS <3

since 2003

2015-07-30 22:22

D E L A Y B O Y S

bo3 groups... nice eswc. ESL COULD LEARN A LOT HERE.

I can smell the delayed bo3 format already. Im ready for a month long event.

A month?you're too nice

2015-07-31 02:00

FUCK PGW

We'll be back after a "short" commercial break...

wow 5k extra

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 3 Hours delay incoming

Would be good if famous casters would boycot eswc event but knowing reality some greedy pigs will not skip it.

How would that work exactly? If your ludicrous statement actually happened a worse casting lineup would cast the event.

yes and less people will watch it and next time they will try to make better event

2015-07-30 21:18

Wouldn't it make more sense if the players did it? I don't think a casters paycheck is too big man. Probably need it for day 2 day survival etc..

2015-07-30 21:47

no good news

2015-07-30 20:23

see you there :)

ESWC please, just fuck off.

They couldn't even mitigate shitty Layer 4 DDoS attacks. I'm surprised they didn't just call it quits after all these years.

So, sponsors are organizing tournaments and btw they expand the environment on the game you play... For you it's free and what you do is only complaint about this. Why you don't shutdown your computer ?

2015-07-30 20:36

cause i reading on my phone, should i shut it down too?

2015-07-30 21:36

yes

2015-07-30 21:54

16 teams and bo3 groupstage, damn

is eswc legit now? I came back 3 or 4 months ago, on 1.6 they were known for owing a lot of money to teams.

2015-07-30 20:48

I dunno if they owe any team money, but their tournaments are trash.

2015-07-30 21:04

eswc tournaments are crap

2015-07-30 20:49

NICE

all newbie fags who started watching cs a month ago posting crap about ESWC lol...

2015-07-30 21:52

Nice try ESWC

2015-07-30 23:21

This Event, ESWC might want to prove the fans that they care about us, by avoiding delays and starting on time

2015-07-30 23:27

ESL and eswc both epic fails today.

2015-07-30 23:33

ESL fail? lol

2015-07-31 12:12

The majors format is still fail compared to gfinitys bo3 group stage, and bo5 final. Just my opinion though, dont hurt me.

2015-07-31 18:29

I remember back in the early 2000's when ESWC was a respectable event

2015-07-31 00:34

Nice!

2015-07-31 01:02

More events = better for cs

2015-07-31 02:54

ok lets go tyloo!

2015-07-31 03:01

Great! Hoping to see many different countries at ESWC because that's what this tournament stands for. :)

2015-07-31 04:50

After a short break we're back with more ESWC matc... Wait, we have a problem and we gonna have to delay for 2h 'til the next so have some ads to give us money.
