$45k CS:GO tourney at DreamHack

13-8-2012 15:45

DreamHack has announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as one of their tournament games with a whopping prize purse of 300,000 SEK (~$45,000 USD) and sixteen teams.

Traditionally held at Elmia in Jönköping, DreamHack Winter will take place on November 22-25th in Sweden and will once again feature a massive Counter-Strike tournament, although for Global Offensive instead of 1.6 this time. Whether a CS 1.6 tournament is also planned is still unknown.

The tournament will be open to sixteen teams, found via direct invites, online and LAN qualifiers, as well as the on-site BYOC qualifier.

As usual, the tournament will kick off with a group stage that will feature four groups of four teams each and see the amount of teams split in half as only eight will progress to the playoffs.

From there on out it will be a single elimination best-of-three bracket with the following prize distribution, suggesting that no third place decider will once again be played.

DreamHack Winter 2012 prize distribution:

1. 150,000 SEK (~$22,500)
2. 75,000 SEK (~11,250)
3. 25,000 SEK (~$3,750)
4. 25,000 SEK (~$3,750)

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will come out next week and with teams such as Ninjas in Pyjamas already preparing for the events to come, you can expect HLTV.org to be on-site in Jönköping to provide you with full coverage of the event.

Well was inevitable, just unfortunate so much good features are lost, but theres a chance for improvements as well. Just hope they get the headshot feeling back from 1.6, nothing can beat 5 headshots the way it was shown in 1.6 =] Other than that I think CS:GO isn't all that bad, more 1.6 players just need to give it a chance. Then again the map changes are not for the better in most cases (specially train) and so much random stuff in it blocking the path yet not good enough for cover. Also some of the most awesome wallbang spots are gone. Thats what made CS unique, CS:GO kinda made it just another shooter with bomb plant/defusal =[

Because 1.6 doesn't offer free 2 play with better graphics, international play or updates based on community feedback.

+1 CS:GO is awful

2012-08-13 16:20

I feel exactly the same about the feeling while watching the matches, it's "emotionless" to me.

2012-08-13 16:44

You cant conclude the matter till it happens. I think many people will watch CS:GO match with curiousity, count me in, and some may find aspects of CS:GO interesting enough to fascinate them to play. I love CS 1.6, and it's never ever gonna change. But the fact we cant deny is that nothing is forever, we have to move on, and so does CS 1.6. Why dont we help developers improving game such as CSP, CSGO so that those games can not only reach the CS "1.6 standard" we already set but furthermore, will be a better game than CS 1.6?

2012-08-14 05:10

I will only watch 1.6 at this DH. (if they chose to also have 1.) j4f lets predict the grand final :) 5.000 source specs 10.000 1.6 specs 15.000 spectators?

Source players are mostly 12 year olds that just play casually and dont follow the scene. (steriotype but true) I saw some CSS g final (if only i remembered wich one) betwen verygames and TT.dragons that had 1.800 spectators. I [overdrev] when i said 5000 o.o CS:GO spectators: 80% 1.6 players? CS:GO players: 80% source players? CS:GO players: 80% kids? we dont know anything yet :)

"Source Players are mostly 12 year olds that just play casually and dont follow the scene." Did you really just say that, I mean really? The majority of Source players are now well over 18 +. I'm 24, and then the majority of top players are well into their 20's. The casual scene generally follows the same pattern (hell there are still some 40 - 50 year olds who play the game).

Having been to many CSS LANs in the UK and knowing a massive community called Middle Aged Gamers and their rough ages there are still quite a few 40 - 50 year olds involved in the game.

Because that would split the communities further, not unite them. That's the last thing we need if we still want to see CS rise to it's former glory days again.

2012-08-14 01:38

Thats not what i mean. IMO only think they will host CS:GO but what i meant is that i predict: 10k specators from 1.6 community and 5k specators from source community that will watch the CS:GO g final

The game isn't even released and its already got a major tournament for $45k. The only reason why source "died" or never got as big was because it was competing with 1.6 in its glory days, now that 1.6 is out of the way CS GO will take over and be thriving in a years time imo. If 1.6 was in the state it is now back when source was released i bet source would have gotten a lot bigger.

2012-08-13 16:28

4 replies

I agree. One other reason why source didnt get succesfull was because when it got released.. damn it was shit back then. The way source is now, it's actually a really good game and I know pretty much all cs 1.6'ers will dissagree but it's much better than CSP.

2012-08-13 16:41

According to your logic "since the game has a 45k tourney, it must be popular" The reason a 45k tourney has been launched is to increase the popularity forcefully, to forcefully make the 1.6rs move to GO 1.6 had large prize money BECAUSE it was popular. Not the other way round

2012-08-13 18:33

2 replies

Thats not my logic, im replying to an idiot that is using his heart and thinking the game will be dead in a year, yet clearly people are showing interest in it before its even released and BEFORE its even popular, such as this tournament, such as NiP they believe this game WILL become big or popular. How the hell do you deduce from my statement that i think the game is popular. instead if you had good logic you would see it as showing that this game has promise and people are getting behind it. and forcefully try and move 1.6ers? haha, wake up, 1.6 is competitively dead. No one needs to try and move 1.6ers. and your quote, "1.6 had large prize money BECAUSE it was popular. Not the other way round" So what? whats your point? this is a good thing are you seriously taking the stance that CS GO tournaments with nice prize pools is a bad thing? please enlighten me how aside from the fact that you are so butt hurt because you don't like the game and its just another realisation that 1.6 is that much more dead and gone which makes you bitter?

2012-08-13 20:35

If only Valve were putting the money into the tournament, then your statement would be correct.... OH WAIT A MINUTE.... they aern't are they?

Hahahaha!! You are clueless, cuz of to much slavic fanboiesZZism.

You are the first stated such thing like navi split the top1 of 2011 with SK or even golden5. And btw the topelite veterans of CS like cArn, lurppis, dsn and objective alltimers like that who played them all just told cogu is the best awpwer ever. So that gives us top1 alltime awp: 1: cogu 2: harder 3: nut 4: to 5: crack live with it, deal with , face it

no way those 3 teams were better than fnatic 2009. navi 2010 is arguable but fnatic 2009 is simply top1/2 of the best teams ever.

2012-08-14 06:48

You're clueless... 1) Na`Vi in 2010 beat the money record that ever was in CS 1.6. 2) Na`Vi in 2010 won 3 of 3 biggest events in the year and beat the record, because there was not team created who can win 3 of 3 biggest events in the year, except NAVI - WCG, IEM, ESWC. 3) 4 players of the team were in top20, 3 were in top5 and markeloff was top1 player of the year. And now about 2011: 1.Na`Vi/sk/ESC they all were equal... But the luck was at ESC's side, so ESC was named the team of 2011. but i'd say it was very arguable. fnatic in 2009 for sure were not better than NAVI in 2010, Na`Vi were monsters in 2010, and in 2011 they were monsters too, always top1-2-3, for sure with some mistakes. And at last you forgot mTw too, in 2008 they were better than fnatic in 2009 too. Just compare NA`Vi > fnatic mTw > fnatic SK 2003 > fnatic fnatic = SK 2011

2010 the prizepool of tournaments had its peak, and dont forget tournaments like arbalet. But ofc 2010 navi dominated who said something else, but they have been top1 1 year of their 3 years of existence, so take it a bit easy with your false arguements, however whenever CS dies it will be remembered as a game mastered by swedes. Did that hurt to much to hear you have to cry the world another ocean.. poor one eyed slavic ppls.

People like you simply don't understand the fact that 99,9% of all people just play the game they enjoy the most.

If you play a game you don't like just because of some prize money (which you probably will never win), you're wasting your time. Btw: If it would be only about prize money, you would be an idiot to play CS anyway.

How the hell can you say a game is shit when you haven't played the final verson of the game, which btw won't be the final verson seeing that Valve will contiune to update and support it.. Heck, you probably haven't played the beta since day one, or even touched it..

I think this is great news for the FPS community. The FPS community hasn't had a game that we could call the premier FPS game in a long time. This could be our moment. Maybe we can relive the CPL days with huge prize pools like this $50,000 one at dreamhack. We need to rally together guys and despite what we may think about the game itself, we can get used to it and to be honest, as someone who has had the beta since it first came out, the game has gotten a lot better. It may not be on the standards of 1.6 and may never will be, we can still unite to bring back some life into the FPS community. We've been overshadowed for a while now by League of Legends and Starcraft 2 which both boast much greater sponsors, events, and prizes than Source or 1.6 combines. Both of those games gather viewerships of over 100,000 people at their biggest tournaments and have prize pools of over $25,000 at most of the larger events. But it's important to note that our HLTV's used to have those numbers and the old tournaments for CS used to boast those prize pools 7-8 YEARS ago. This is a great event but it's also a greater step forward for the FPS gaming community. Competitive level 1.6 and Source are dying out or have died out in most places around the world with very few events these days. The movement is towards GO and while sponsors and tournaments help, success is in the hands of the viewers.

Unless they fix the crap gameplay, not gonna happen. I think it will be like CSS, with CGS, huge prizes in the begining, then everyone will forget it because of the poor gameplay.

I think there's a possibility of this happening but it's kind of like Starcraft 2, in my opinion, where the Brood War pros (who are much more highly respected) have now decided to move over because they realize 2 important things: 1. Brood War is a 12 year-old game and it's dying competitively and 2. Starcarft 2 is successful and has money in it. I think Source & CGS didn't do it right because they were trying to replace a still living and successful game that was 1.6 that had steam left. But it seems like 1.6 AND source have reached their ends and support has been dropping out even without the introduction of CS:GO. The FPS community has lost interest with the gaming world and many people now just watch LoL or SC2. Local 1.6 and Source leagues still exist but internationally, it has really died out. I think it is time for a new FPS game and the one we're presented with is CS:GO. The timing is right. I also think that the gameplay is coming along. Of course, it's a work in progress and it's a lot slower than we want but I hope eventually they get it right. I'm more positive than negative about progress because I've seen the progress that has been made so far. It's been getting better and I think more is on the way. Remember, it's not supposed to be a replica of 1.6. I think that's a big concept that people aren't able to grasp. It is undeniable that 1.6 was successful because of the game that it is but times have changed.

valve isn't realizing that there is a e-sport scene for cs though.

2012-08-13 17:50

It's not supposed to be a 1.6 replica, but is it supposed to offer at least close gameplay I guess? CS 1.6 has the best FPS gameplay ever imo. What's the point of playing a game that is less fun and has worse gameplay? Just because it's new? Because it has better graphics? I don't think the mass (very young, americans, console owners, low skilled in general) will stop to play their CoD or BF3 to play this new CS, a lot of 1.6 players seems to dislike the way the game is going, but for sure almost every CSS player will play and enjoy it.

Ahhh i just watch one clip from youtube to refresh my memory about how it looks & gameplay ... the commentator said something true about CS:GO ... it's too difficult ... too detailed ... Cs 1.6 is the best FPS , because of it's simplicity ... In other hand ... everyone here compare CS:Go & cs 1.6 ... and they are different games ... You see Cs:Go is not Cs 1.7 or Cs 2.0 ... this is not some kind of continue to the old game, so no point of compare them ... GL HF & be more respectful to others!

All those haters are not even real haters, all of them are just afraid of sth like a new Counter Strike era. And every single complaint about how terrible and unplayable game GO is simply does not give a lot of sense, because GO is still in beta mode and the purpose of GO is to make a bit different game, not just same like 1.6 with better graphics.Sponsors ale looking for new opportunities and new faces.Except recoil, which is nowadays bit weird, it IS pretty good game.

i agree, but recoil should be fixed soon, it feels really weird, the crosshair doesn't seem to be as "responsive" as it was in 1.6 (or 1.3, 1.5), it feels like playing COD or some other game, but not counter strike at all.

I have never played COD or generally console games at all co I can't compare.It's just how GO feels to me.I understand why people are so stressed about it, I am taking it easy because I am not playing Counter Strike anymore.But from from my point of view (guy who played active 6 years), it is on a good way.

They had both games fully made, they just needed to make graphics a bit better, maybe 1 or 2 changes, but nothing serious. Yet, they failed @ that. I say Valve is the only company that can do that. It's math! GOOD GAME (DOTA, CS) + VALVE = TRASH!

same hero/item names with new graphics and models don't make it better than the original dota... what is wrong with ppl nowadays the main aspect of a game is fun and challenging gameplay not how it looks. Yes DOTA and CS need a facelift and tweaks but not at the cost of changing their unique gameplay (some aspects should be fixed). Icefrog didn't make the engine of wc3... Neither did he came up with dota,he took over the project,updated,fixed,balanced it. He deserves all the credits for making it popular because he worked hard on it,with monthly updates. But he worked on dota in the wc editor and that is not as hard as making a gamme from scratch -_- he's probably more of a consultant than a dev at valve.

that the hero models and item models are not the same as in wc3 dota is not valves fault !!!!! its blizzards fault. also icefrog is the main head creator of dota 2, he gives all the advices, values etc. valve is just creating the engine and ports icefrogs thoughts on the source engine inform yourself when u flame the developers here, otherwise u look like a retard fact is that wc3 dota is just a fun mod for wc3 and now shit noob games like LoL took the credits and make their own game full of noobs, are u happy with it? we need a dota 2 now or people will only remember shit like LoL and stuff, what every 12 year old kid can master :X
