Sweden, where the beer flows like wine. Land of hot blonde snow bunnies that wear skimpy clothing and frolic through the snow. Constantly. Wanna go there? Well if you play Counter-Strike, you’ll have a chance to win the coveted golden ticket to this mythical land.
Your friendly neighborhood Dell is sponsoring the Dell Unleashed Counter-Strike Campus Challenge, which aims to send the greatest CS dueler to Pandemic in Sweden. Don’t think you can hang with the big boys? No problem, there’s no fee to enter. May as well get in there and take one quick headshot to end your playoff run.
Good news is, even if you’re not the best you can still walk away with some loot. All grand finalists will get a Pandemic jersey, and a $100 VISA gift card. And if you’re a wildcard winner you’ll at least get a jersey for some pride.
How does it work? Well, although CSS is a squad based game, this is a lone wolf tournament. That’s right — 1 on 1 to see who’s really the best. Every region will be broken down into a 64 man random single elimination bracket. So try not to catch any bullets with your face, or it’s going to be a short tourney for you.
If you make it through, that means a double elimination showdown with the top four players from your region. From these select few, there will only be six Regional Champions, and two wildcards in a single elimination Grand Final showdown.
Well, at least now, no one can say you’ve wasted the last 4 years of your life playing a video game.
