Last week saw me announce the CS1.6 Pre season competition, today I’m proud to announce the CSS Pre season competition the format is very similar to the one used for CS1.6 with a few little tweaks to suit the CSS teams. Counterstrike Source has been moving along quite nicely over the summer with the one night stand cups filling up within a day.
So onto the details, I’m just going to bullet point them so they are very clear.
Important Information
The whole idea of this is to get teams playing as many games as possible to see who will turn up and play. All teams will play at least 3 or 4 games best of three so it should give an idea where everyone stands skill wise and activity wise. I plan on running a smaller one of these in the Second or third week of season 11 so if there are any new teams wanting in to replace teams they will have there opportunity. If you have any questions please PM me (Blizzard) on the Website please. Good Luck have fun.
