Whilst many of us in the UK will be flocking to i-series 21 or GameOn 56 in the UK, in America this weekend the ever expanding GlobalGaming League has announced it will hold a $5,000 Counter-Strike Invite tournament.
Los Angeles, CA (August 18, 2004) On August 30th, the CS community will have something to cheer for as eight of the best teams in the USA clash for $5,000 in cash at the GGL Counter-Strike Invitational."We're very pleased with the signups for our Counter-Strike ladder and we wanted to say thanks to the CS community by putting on this special event", says Jason Carlton, Director of Gaming Operations with Global Gaming League.
Lots of changes are in store for team-based GGL gaming. We'll be adding a league-based system for Counter-Strike following the event to compliment our existing ladder system, which will become the open-division of the league next season. More details on the CS league will come after the event.
Prizes
1st - $3,000
2nd - $1,000
3rd - $500
4th- $500Invited Teams
Team 3D (confirmed)
NOA (confirmed)
U5 (confirmed)
Rival (confirmed)
D!E (confirmed)
EG
TEC
zEx (confirmed)
With many top teams in attendance this will be an important event for teams coming back from a poor CPL performance. Can Team3D regain their form? Was NoA's CPL 03 success a fluke? Can D!E repeat their 5th place CPL performance and how have the players changes/merges affected U5? As always, time is the jury.

New CPL rules or old school? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

GGL has decided to adopt the top rules from many of the recent LAN events jumping on the group play/single elimination style of ESWC but also introducing the best of three maps format from EverLAN. Also the new rules the CPL has announced will be used by GGL but instead with a 2 minute roundtime to help teams to start adjusting towards the future 1:45 roundtime of the CPL.
