CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

Hello,

As you may or may not know, there are increasing number of 1.6 and Source players who are transitioning to CSGO in Lebanon, most of which have contacted me via Steam through previous posts on this forum.

Now I managed to contact a freshly opened gaming lounge in Beirut that is interested in hosting a CSGO Tournament, and plans are set in motion to make the tournament an actual thing. Now before any futher announcements or news, we need a headcount on anyone who is interested and able to participate in the tournament to see if it can be realized or not. Think of it as a statistical survey to see how much people would be interested and willing to participate in a CSGO LAN tournament (since CSGO unlike LoL doesnt need a connection to a server and can be hosted on a LAN environment with close to 0 ms latency).

-You need to own the game on Steam in order to be able to play or atleast know someone who is able to borrow you his account so you can log in and play it in the tournament (especially for 1.6 and Source veterans who dont own CSGO on Steam)

-Whoever is interested and is willing to join such an event just comment on this post saying so.

-It would be deeply appreciated if an admin of this forum would sticky this post for everyone to see.

As a final note, its always nice to see people helping out and see the eSports scene in Lebanon grow, the more people show interest in it the more it would be a suitable investment for sponsors and gaming lounges.

If you have any suggestions or question or any way to help, feel free to comment below, PM me or add me on Steam on the following URL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/thesavior2/ (if you add me on steam please comment on my steam profile that you found this post here, because there are alot of spam bots and Russian hackers who add me 24/7)

Note that pirated version of the game wont work, you need to own it legitimately on Steam.

I wouldn't confirm I can come for several reasons, one of them is the time schedule, if you can set up a date and time I'm pretty sure people would be interested.

Thig is John, there would be no tournament in the first place if people dont show interest first. Why would thd lounge owner go through the trouble of contacting sponsors and prepping everything if no one would attend.

Zpomkizz, will do.

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

The more the merrier, we got 4 teams so far.
If we can reach atleast 10 or 15 teams then we can end the planning phase and start executing it.

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

Like I said in the previous comments, we're still in the planning phase and want to see how many people would still join. We are planning on dedicating large amounts of resources onto this tournament, so it wont turn out to be a poorly made one. Thats why we need to be sure people are going to attend before things are set in motion, so it wont be a waste of everyone's time and no one shows up.

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

This would make 6 teams (another team contacted me privately), 9 more to go to meet the minimum requirements. Then we'd start updating the post accordingly with details such as sponsors, time and date, location, ladder, entry fees, prizes and so on.

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

I have a team (like, we're 16 years old), but the problem is that we're not professionals.
Is it high-skilled players only? Or would also be a tournament for everyone? (if I was to go, I'd just go for the laughs)

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

There is no minimum skill limit, anyone can join. The more the merrier. You should do your best though, there will be good prizes involved

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

do we have to be physically present? I can play from dubai online; also i dont have a team, so if anyone needs one more member, dont be shy to shout out.

I am not the best, but i can offer great competition

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

Yeah you have to be present, for only one reason. Cheats. We cant know if you could be cheating or not, and there's money on the line, so you see where I'm coming from.

I come across a lot of Arabs, who talk in Arabic in the game chat, so I know what they're talking and own them like that. Sometimes I go "shh" and they swear at me, so I swear back and they get "rekt". It never gets old haha

What about lonely wolfs? Do I have to assemble a team with me? How many members should be in a team?

I can highly relate to that especially here in UAE, as most Arab players think the rest of the players don't speak Arabic (since there is a high cultural mixture). One time even I just spoke English (I have a a slight American accent) all the game, and of course I was cursed at in Arabic just to make fun of me. Almost after the ownage in the game, I owned him again by surprising him that I am a native Arabic speaker and cursed him back just to show him. That was more fun than the game itself

Re: CS:GO Tournament in Lebanon

Anaymank7 you need a 5 person team, so you need 4 more players. And there is no even for lone wolves. If the tournament is a succes we will make another bigger one with 1v1 and 2v2 matches

@TheSavior111, a player in LDLC Blue or White (forgot) is a lebanese guy called Charbel 'BouLy' Naoum,
he's apparently living in france and has been recruited by the french company LDLC,
tried looking for him but he has a private profile, its nice to have a Lebanese in the CSGO professional scene!
