Although the COVID-19 global pandemic has pushed nearly all esports events to an online format, the laid-back CS:GO tournament cs_summit is here to give fans some laughs and great CS.
To better fit an online competition, cs_summit six split the event into the two major regions: North America and Europe. There are multiple phases of the event, starting with the open qualifiers and concluding with the regional playoffs.
The tournament is already underway, but it’s slated to go on until July 5, so it’s not too late to watch some games.
Here’s everything you need to know about cs_summit Six.
Format
Of the event’s four phases, two have been completed: the open qualifiers and regional qualifiers. These qualification tournaments determined the 16 European teams and eight North American teams that will compete.
Phase three, the regional group stage, has just begun. It’ll feature a GSL best-of-three format, which will effectively eliminate half of the teams before entering the regional playoffs. The playoffs will be a best-of-three, double-elimination bracket with a best-of-five grand final capping off the tournament.
Stream
The main English stream is broadcast on Beyond the Summit’s CS:GO Twitch channel. The event also has multiple broadcasts in different languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, German, and Russian.
