The top 3 teams will win a slot in the grand finals where they will be pitted against top CS:GO teams like Orange E-Sports, Smackdown.DC, TNC and Flash E-Sports.

We were able to catch up with the captain of one of the finalists Carpe Diem, Muhammad “Defty” Abdillah, who said that on top of playing scrims, they also played in the CyaC league with the goal of improving themselves. The team is trying to learn more strategies so that they will be ready when the finals kick off.

While the Class S teams will headline the top CS:GO teams in the country, the Class A division will be kept open for any team who think they’re good enough to challenge as the next big contender. All six teams in the Class S have been already seeded and they will be joined subsequently by the top 2 Class A teams.

We were able to grab a hold of MSI Evolution Gaming’s Team captain Elgee Gaboy who said that the team has been spending the last two days practicing for CS:GO. Elgee and added that he will only be coaching the team since he cannot commit much time towards CS:GO.
