PTG Database Analysis

The Counter-Strike tournament at DreamHack Summer 2006 was one stop in the World Series of Video Games circuit. Liquipedia lists 14 teams, a double-elimination bracket with best-of-one matches, and a USD 25,000 prize pool. Ninjas in Pyjamas defeated Fnatic in the final; CheckSix finished third.[1]

The WSVG circuit announcement identifies Intel as its presenting sponsor. That evidence supports a circuit-level relationship; it does not specify an additional DreamHack activation. All 14 Liquipedia-listed entrants are now linked to canonical Team pages.[2]
