'Eurokrieg', literally meaning European War, is a new Counter-Strike: Source tournament series from The New World Assembly Group. It will take place twice a year from now on, with the inaugural event beginning on August 17th. Each Eurokrieg event will last around one and a half months, and the eventual winners of the first event will walk away with the entire prize purse of €5,000 ($7,921).

GROUP 3 - France
GROUP 4 - Germany
GROUP 5 - Belgium & Netherlands
GROUP 6 - Eastern Europe & Italy
GROUP 7 - Spain & Portugal
