StarLadder & Imbatv to host $150,000 invitational

15-3-2018 17:00

StarLadder and Imbatv have announced that they have joined forces once again to host an invitational CS:GO tournament with $150,000 on the line.

The event will run from March 22-25 in the Chinese city of Chongqing, marking the return of a Starladder competition to this Asian country, which hosted an invitational tournament in Shanghai in November.

Unlike that event, the Chongqing invitational will not feature any qualifiers, with all eight teams being invited, four of whom will travel straight from the WESG Finals - MVP PK, AGO, BOOT-d[S] and SCARZ Absolute.

AGO invited to StarLadder event

The StarLadder Imbatv Invitational will begin with two four-team double-elimination groups, featuring best-of-three matches in the lower bracket. The top two teams from both groups will advance to the single-elimination, best-of-three playoffs.

Below you can find the full team list for the Chinese event:

Vega Squadron	Spirit
AGO	TYLOO
Flash	MVP PK
BOOT-d[S]	SCARZ Absolute

The food at Chongqing is so fucking spicy...R.I.P players' ass. Tyloo,Flash,Vega,AGO,This tournament reminds me of the China TOP 2017 Shenzhen:hltv.org/events/3292/china-top-2017-shen.. SO EASY FOR Mac-10 Squadron

Even spicier than normal Chinese food? I'd die lol

2018-03-15 17:31

If you're weak against spicy food, then you're done xd

2018-03-15 19:45

I'm actually used to spicy food, but more like what my country defines as "spicy". I don't have any problems in Chinese or Indian restaurants either but I think they made it weaker for us :I

2018-03-15 19:50

i think Chongqing's spicy food is acceptable to most of the ppl who eat spicy, its just... u dont have other choice there

2018-03-16 04:15

Why do Chinese people like to waste money on tier 2-3 teams

2018-03-15 17:23

They want to introduce China to Counterstrike.

Stop fucking making events in china No one can get visa

4 of the invited teams are already in China for WESG, so no worries for this event. The other are 2 Chinese and 2 Russian teams, no bigger Visa problems either I think.
