PTG Database Analysis

The Counter-Strike tournament at the 2007 Samsung European Championship ran at CeBIT Hall 22 in Hannover from March 15–18. World Cyber Games is listed as the competition organizer; contemporary reporting identifies International Cyber Marketing as the operating company for the finals. Samsung sponsored the event. Liquipedia identifies 23 national teams, while contemporary coverage confirms the national-roster eligibility rule.[1][2][3]

The double-elimination tournament awarded EUR 24,000. SK Gaming Counter-Strike defeated Team Pentagram Counter-Strike in the final; Meet Your Makers Counter-Strike finished third, ahead of 69°N-28°E Counter-Strike. All 23 teams identified in Liquipedia’s final placements now resolve to canonical PTG Team pages. The results label one 13th–16th-place entry “Eclipse (European team),” while the Notable Participants section separately names an “Eclipse (Latvian team)”; PTG preserves the results-page qualifier and does not merge the two names.[1][5]

Contemporary venue coverage lists Samsung, Philips and Xbox among the sponsors in CeBIT Hall 22. Liquipedia separately identifies Samsung as the tournament sponsor. PTG records Xbox as a Hall 22 sponsor, keeping that venue-level evidence distinct from the tournament-level partnership.[1][4]
