CCT Season 2
On Tuesday, Champion of Champions Tour (CCT) confirmed the invites for its upcoming Counter-Strike 2 tournament, CCT Season 2 Europe Series 18. The even is set to begin on Tuesday, with the play-in stage and culminate with the grand finals on Sunday, February 23.
In the announcement, CCT confirmed that initially, the wrong VRS was used to hand out invites, so the invites were re-done and sent out to teams based on the correct list from January 6.
The CCT Season 2 Europe Series 18 will begin on February 4 with the play-in stage, where 16 Counter-Strike teams will battle for one of four tickets for the group stage.
In the group stage, the top four teams from the play-ins will join 12 directly invited teams and battle in a Swiss System format group, with all matches played as best-of-three (BO3). The top eight teams from the Swiss Stage will advance to the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the top eight Counter-Strike teams will join eight directly invited teams to the tournament’s final stage to play out a single-elimination best-of-three (BO3) bracket. The finals, like all other playoff games will be BO3.
Besides revealing invites for the first stages of the tournament, CCT also announced the eight Counter-Strike teams who received a direct bye to the playoffs.
Those include B8, Partizan Esports, Passion UA, Dynamo Eclot, 9Pandas, ENCE, Nexus Gaming, and Nemiga Gaming. Meanwhile, Fnatic, BC.Game Esports, Monte, Sashi Esports, and some other notable names were invited to the group stage.
Even the Play-In stage will feature a few big names from the scene, namely Ninjas in Pyjamas, Aurora Gaming, and OG. However, despite their brand value, neither team have found much success in recent months, thus they did not receive an invite to the latter stages of the tournament.
