Ready.Set.GO! Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Cup

The DGL Ready.Set.GO! cup has gone through the group stage motions and jiggled the cream of the crop to the top. 39 teams are competing, which is a massive number of teams for a CS title. This could mean that CS”GO has a future in our eSports community after all. Among the many, many new teams, we’re seeing some old names too. These include Bravado and Damage Control. Because I was way too lazy too type out the results, I totally print screened the results log. Have a look-see.
