PTG Database Analysis

The 2010 Counter-Strike 1.6 competition was organized by the Arbalet Cup organization with ESEA. Contemporary reports list the competition dates as July 16–18 and name Hella Shrine Center as the venue. The center is now listed at its Garland address as Hella Events Center, so PTG records the physical host city as Garland; the event was billed as Dallas.[2][3][4]

Liquipedia’s final standings list 16 teams, led by Natus Vincere Counter-Strike, mousesports Counter-Strike and Evil Geniuses Counter-Strike. The event announcement described a 32-team invitation format; the final field and the USD 80,000 announced prize allocation are recorded separately from that earlier format plan.[1][2][5]
