Top Tier: CS:GO Summit is Here

cs_summit closes in on finals in its 6th Counter-Strike tournament this weekend in both North America and Europe with $100,000 on the line for both regions.

This has also been an opportunity for new talent to arise, with teams like BIG who have made it to the upper bracket finals vs Vitality, after fully sweeping the big boys, GODSENT and Fnatic.

The best production and some of the best teams will put on an amazing final performance in the coming days and there’s no way you should miss it. We’ve got both the NA and EU tournaments all tee’d up for you on our cs_summit 6 event page.
