Counter-Strike: GotFrag Revival Tour

GotFrag presents the 2008 GotFrag Revival Tour, Counter Strike 1.6 Tournament Series


You asked for it, now GotFrag delivers as only we can. Who knows Counter Strike 1.6 better than GotFrag? That's right, nobody. We here at GotFrag have watched organizations come and go, and have watched our community being led down the path of unrighteousness by tournaments gone astray. With that being said, we have taken the advice and counsel of our community, and without further ado we proudly announce the GotFrag Revival Tour!

We're bringing headshots back!

So dust off your old-timey configs, practice boosting with a friend, and hop in an aim map server because today, everything changes. Until recently, Counter-Strike 1.6 had been the cornerstone game of choice in eSports for almost a decade, and now GotFrag is pushing the game we all love back to the forefront of eSports.

The GotFrag Revival Tour will feature the very top echelon of North American Counter Strike 1.6 teams invited by GotFrag, along with open registration and “community selected” teams to fill the remaining spots. The tournament will enjoy full, comprehensive coverage from GotFrag eSports with the exceptional quality you have come to expect. Live scores, IRC scorebots, HLTV, GameSense Statistics, game demos, interviews, previews, GotSkills? Awards and much more.

Not only will GotFrag eSports cover the series with the best web coverage in the business, but through the wonders of modern technology, GotFrag TV will bring you live streaming video coverage from start to end with the best crew in the business. GotFrag TV is set to deliver in-game play by play action, color commentary, and much more directly from the brand new GFTV studio space in Phoenix, Arizona, straight to your browser.

Trevor “Midway” Schmidt and Mark “jESUIT” Cheben, each with experience both as players on top Counter-Strike teams and years of on-air experience, have become the premier Counter-Strike casting duo in eSports. Scott “SirScoots” Smith and Jason “Alchemist” Baker add their many years of playing and producing content for all versions of Counter-Strike to the production and direction of GotFrag TV. Born from Counter-Strike 1.6 and earlier versions, led by true apostles of the game, GotFrag TV is committed to giving back to the community that created it.

With the backing of Major League Gaming, the world leader in competitive video gaming, GotFrag has answered the call. Counter-Strike 1.6 done right. And, this is only the beginning.

Praise 1.6 and pass the AWP!
