PTG Database Analysis

The Counter-Strike competition was part of the Samsung European Championship, a World Cyber Games event for European national representatives held alongside CeBIT in Hannover. Liquipedia names WCG as organizer and Samsung as sponsor; a Korean business report separately identifies International Cyber Marketing as local organizer of the wider festival. Liquipedia records 16 teams in the Counter-Strike bracket and a EUR 25,000 prize pool. fnatic beat Meet Your Makers in the final. Its participant cards and bracket identify all 16 teams, now linked to canonical PTG Team pages. HLTV’s event database retains a different attending-team list, so the participant links follow Liquipedia’s event cards and results.[1][2][3][4]
