PNY and the ESEA have teamed up to bring gamers the XLR8 gaming tournament for Counter-Strike: Source. The first week has already come and gone, but Weeks 2-4 are still to come so there is still plenty of time to sign up your team!
Under the XLR8 Gaming Series format, teams will need to win as many offensive rounds as they can in 10 minutes. This fast, rapid-paced mode of play mirrors the performance of XLR8 Gaming products and offers exciting game play for Counter-strike: Source players similar to the Charges Only format played long ago in the early days of CS. Attacking (T sided) rounds only count towards a team's score and each team will play only one offensive half per match. The team with the most offensive (T sided) victories after two halves wins.Week 2 will start on January 14th, so there's still plenty of time to sign up. There are prize packages for the top three teams with the top finisher picking up (5) XLR8 Gold Series graphics cards valued at approximately $500 each, and (5) 2GB kits of XLR8 1173 MHz DDR2 performance memory.
