PTG Database Analysis
The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive finals ran Oct 30–Nov 2, 2014 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Paris, as part of Paris Games Week. Four groups of six played best-of-one round robin; the top two from each group advanced to a best-of-three, single-elimination playoff. Fnatic Counter-Strike defeated Team LDLC in the final, with Virtus.pro third and Natus Vincere fourth. The CS:GO men’s prize pool was USD 50,000: Liquipedia’s detailed CS:GO distribution and HLTV agree on this amount; its infobox’s USD 60,000 figure does not match that game-specific prize section. Liquipedia lists 11 partners; PTG links each to an existing canonical page. The 24-team field is linked in full, including eight archival team pages created for participants that previously lacked a Counter-Strike route.[1][2][3][4]
