PTG Database Analysis

Arbalet Cup Europe 2010 ran May 14–16 at Inferno Online in Stockholm. Liquipedia classifies it as S-Tier and lists 16 Counter-Strike teams and USD 37,000 in prize money. The group stage used best-of-one matches; the playoff bracket used best-of-three matches. HLTV reported a separate USD 5,000 All-Star prize pool, which is outside this game-specific tournament record.[1][2]

Fnatic defeated Natus Vincere 2–1 in the final. mTw beat PiNG for third place. The reviewed tournament and event reports identify Arbalet as organizer but do not establish a distinct commercial partner for the main Counter-Strike competition.[4]
