FlipSid3, CSGL in Santorini showmatch

7-3-2016 21:35

FlipSid3 Tactics will play CSGL in a best-of-one showmatch on de_santorini in three days' time.

de_santorini is a map designed for competitive play by Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling (mostly known as a co-contributor to de_cache and de_season) with models and artistic design done by Dimitri "dimsane" Alexis.

The map was one of seven chosen to be included in the recent Operation Wildfire and can be played on official matchmaking servers.

This idyllic Greek island will see an intense standoff occur between FlipSid3 and CSGL

FMPONE has now announced via Twitter that the first official pro match on the map will take place this Thursday, March 10 at 21:30 .

The two teams sparring off will be FlipSid3 and CSGL, who are currently the 16th and 29th best ranked teams in the world. You can scroll over the team names in the sentence above to see the full lineups for each roster.

The showmatch will be covered by twitch.tv/orenaza.

tuscan is a fucking garbage man, but you are just brainless 1.6 fanboy who lives with the nostalgia and can't accept anything new.

nt 15 year old

2016-03-07 23:10

actually 19 :D i really liked tuscan but santorini is a way better map for csgo than the GO version of tuscan. Even GTR says that tuscan need allot of changes

2016-03-07 23:17

+1 Santorini has so many flankshithomoalleys fucking shit map its like a COD-map i hate it. Tuscan needs changes as well, though.

maybe just get good

2016-03-08 15:07

I am good. Thats why I dont need dozens of flankroutes to randomly rush against CT. I can adjust and be clever and play with brains in T-side.

2016-03-08 21:15

awful teams awful map

2016-03-07 21:49

not a bad map, but b halls and mid need some changes or I don't see the pro scene adopting the map

2016-03-07 21:55

Looking forward to this match up, new santorini with competitive playground? Should be awesome!

I don't like the map at all, seems overrated by reddit just because it's made by FMPone

2016-03-07 22:02

only AUG's and SSG are allowed in this match :p

2016-03-07 22:04

Worst mission ever :|

2016-03-07 22:47

ssg is good, sg is also good.

2016-03-08 02:38

Fuck this map. Mid is shit i got rekt everytime by CT peeking from 2 corners suka blet i'm mad cuz no kills

2016-03-07 22:05

I always thought that a tournament with the maps outside the competitive pool would be kinda fun.

2016-03-07 22:08

prize pot?

2016-03-07 22:10

It's a nice and clever map, haters hating because they can.

2016-03-07 22:17

2016-03-07 23:54

prodigy was pretty good, it brings that nostalgia feelings when I watch some old clips of pro games on that map on the beginning of Cs...

2016-03-08 01:09

2016-03-07 22:36

Actually don't like this map personally but GL to both teams.

2016-03-07 22:46

lol csgo maps are stuck in this shitty grey zone where they dont really look high res and realistic, but valve are trying to make them more attractive and it just turns out looking ass.

2016-03-07 22:52

They need to rework the concept of the map, there are too many angles.

2016-03-07 22:58

2016-03-07 23:03

It´s a shame they couldn't use two pro teams

2016-03-08 08:33

feels like someone is forcing this map to be in the current map pool.. I gotta say, this map is absolute dogshit. some folks are still waiting for this lazy fuck brute to finish tuscan.
