Description

Howdy, this is our first tournament in which we hope to expand over time, we are partnering with other teams and organisations to help create the best experience possible. The entry fee at the moment is 1 key per player or 5 keys per team.

If you do not have a team but still want to play, message either http://steamcommunity.com/id/AsrielDreemurrAbsoluteGod/
or
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198092801566/
tell them you dont have a team, pass over your key and we shall add you to the sub bench. If you are not chosen then a full refund is available at the end of the tournament.
Once keys are handed over, refunds are not available if you are caught smurfing, hacking, sandbagging or fail to turn up for your game.

Maximum rank at the moment is Legendary eagle but if there are enough requests, the rank can be raised as well as the amount of possible partaking teams.
There is no minimum rank, so if you are a lower rank do not fret, as at the start of the tournament, people will be placed at with others at a similar skill rank.
Individual performance will also be a factor throughout, as teams who perform especially well and players who outperform, will be awarded additional prizes. E.g. your team is 4th, but you may still earn a prize for good sportsmanship and team with most clutches.

Prizes.
1st - TBD (based of amount of people who enter, may range from 30 to 50 keys as well as free entry to next tournament)
2nd - TBD (15-25, based on amount of people who enter, free entry to next tournament)
3rd - TBD (Full refund, 5-10 keys as well as free entry to next tournament)

Multiple top 3 finishes in a row can lead to extra keys, if a multiple top 3 team looses to a team in the final that isn't in the top 3, extra keys will be awarded to the victor.

Twitch streaming is still under consideration and may or may not occur. Matches can be recorded and uploaded with credit to both team ezy and CS Open.
Dates have still yet to be set as much work is needed. Keys will be required as soon as the team enters, with a weeks time to provide the keys. The keys will be used to provide for a server and possibly a team speak.
At the moment, are main focus is UK teams, but we might try and get a US server for US teams.
