If you haven’t already made Valentine’s Day plans because a) You’re single, or b) you’re lazy, then don’t worry yourself too much. There’s an action-packed CS:GO tournament going on this weekend, so grab a beer and drown your sorrows while watching South Africa’s top CS:GO teams compete for R30 000 provided by Gaming World SA (GWZA), as well as Plantronics Headsets from Apex Interactive
Orena’s inaugural “homestory cup” style tournament kicks off tomorrow with invited teams Aperture Gaming, Bravado Gaming, Carbon eSports and Energy eSports battling it out face-to-face at their studio apartment in Century City, Cape Town. Below you can find all the details regarding the cup, the teams and where to watch.
The Teams
Orena have invited four of South Africa’s top CS:GO teams to Cape Town (note this is four of the top teams, not the four top teams), to compete for not only prizes, but the glory of the first LAN win of 2016. The teams and players are as following
Aperture Gaming
- Trevor “Kanibalistic” Morely
- Dean “Hackem” Seyfried
- Dominic “Domster” Sampaio
- James “zerOchance” Wijnberg
- Hadlee “Konvict” Smith

- Ashton “Golz” Muller

The teams are currently unranked as far as 2016 goes, but as the action unfolds this weekend we are bound to see extremely tough competition between the four teams. At the last LAN of 2015, BHG, Energy eSports bested Bravado Gaming in the Grand Finals with Aperture Gaming taking third place.
