Fragadelphia 8 this weekend

The substratum of North American Counter-Strike will converge on Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this weekend to compete for $15,000 at Fragadelphia 8.

The Fragadelphia series is one of the premier grassroots tournaments on the east coast of the United States, with previous editions having drawn the likes of Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine's Torqued (who won Fragadelphia 6) and Daniel "⁠roca⁠" Gustaferri's roca's compLexity (who won Fragadelphia 7).

Fragadelphia 8 will feature an increased prize-pool of $15,000 and run this weekend from May 20-22 (in the same time frame as the SL i-League Invitational and the MLG Americas Minor). Up to 32 teams will take part in the action, which will feature GSL group play and a double elimination playoff bracket (upper bracket best-of-three and lower bracket best-of-one).


roca and two of his teammates will play in Echo Fox +2

Although the group draw has not taken place yet, there are a number of confirmed teams attending who have made the rounds of ESEA Premier and Main, as well as a mix called "Echo Fox +2" that features three of the team's players: roca, Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan, and Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki.

A few of the confirmed teams for the event are:

United States Echo Fox + 2 United States Tectonic United States VexX United States Bee's Money Crew
United States RivaL United States Savage Gaming United States ACE United States The Foundation

A list of more confirmed teams can be found here under the "Frag 8" section. The prize-pool distribution is as follows:

1. - $8,000
2. - $3,500
3. - $2,000
4. - $1,000
5. - $500 

The stream can be found at the event's Azubu page.

Fragadelphia decided to de facto ban Dazed and steel and all the rest after the bans were made permanent by Valve.

Frag gains way more by having important community names at the event than they do by snubbing them and maintaining their dignity or whatever. Their own stream had like 30,000 nerds watching Torqued play at Frag6. It hasn't gotten close since. I understand the decision, but that doesn't mean I can't think it's a stupid one to make.
