It has been a long season. After months of regular season play, the winner of the second season North American region will finally be decided, as well as a few other awards.

After a stunning upset in the playoffs, the Core has risen from the ashes again to reclaim the reputation they achieved last season in the World Finals. They take on the Dallas Venom, who are on a hugely successful hot streak and show no signs of slowing down. To keep this game close the Core are going to have to keep CS:S's point spread to a minimum against the Venom who have done nothing but win in recent history.

On top of all that, tonight there will be a special award ceremony to recognize the team MVPs as well as GM of the Year!
