Counter-Strike: GRT #2 Invited Teams

By: Gotfrag Announcements - Published May 03, 2008 at 1:39 AM EDT - Writer Archive
GotFrag announces the initial invite picks for the second GotFrag Revival Tour Tournament.


GotFrag is pleased to announce our initial invited team list for the second tournament of the GotFrag Revival Series. Several teams that participated in GRT #1 will be back along with some new teams. Eight teams have been selected as invites along with the three alternate teams from GRT #1 and will receive auto-berth to this tournament. The GotFrag Revival Tour Tournament #2 takes place

The tournament has been expanded from 16 teams to 32 teams due to the overwhelming success of the first tournament of the series. The remaining open team slots will be chosen by GotFrag from the open registration for the tournament.

All the teams that made it to Sunday in GRT #1 have been invited as well as some well known teams that, by way of some unlucky events, were not able to shine as well as they may have wanted to in the first tournament. EG.us has been invited back and hopefully internet problems will not hamper the GRT #1 number one seed this time around. Texas veterans Mug N Mouse picked up an invite after an impressive 3rd place finish in GRT #1. The Godfather and his Mob are certainly welcome again as well as 1st place finisher in GRT #1, x3o.
