XANTARES going to lan?

2016-09-20 21:54

When are we ever gonna get a good CSGO LAN in Paris FFS? We had ESWC 2014 but that's it.

2016-09-20 21:58

CS:GO has grown a lot since 2014 and we've seen some tournaments hosted by various organizations (PGL, GO:CL, Fragbite etc.) But they all fell apart with one or two iterations due to the fact that bigger organizations (ESL, FACEIT, ELEAGUE etc.) took the ropes to themselves with well-funded tournaments. I'm afraid ESWC were amongst those organizations but hey, at least they're giving low-tier teams a chance to play on LAN and that's something.
