PTG Database Analysis
CPL Winter 2006’s Counter-Strike competition ran at the Hyatt Regency Dallas from December 17 to 20. The wider championship program began December 16, following a schedule change announced in September. The 56-team bracket carried a USD 100,000 prize pool; fnatic defeated Meet Your Makers in the final.[1][2][3]
Liquipedia lists Razer, Intel and Belkin as sponsors on the Counter-Strike tournament record; PTG links all three to canonical profiles. Its placement tables name 34 of the 56 teams. PTG links all 34 named entries to canonical Counter-Strike profiles; the remaining 22-team field is not named in the source standings, so overall participant coverage remains partial.[1]
