PTG Database Analysis
WEG e-Stars 2011 was the Counter-Strike 1.6 competition within Seoul’s e-Stars festival, held at COEX Hall D. The Seoul Metropolitan Government identifies the festival dates as Aug 19–21; Liquipedia’s game-specific infobox lists Aug 18–20, so this record uses the city-confirmed festival dates and preserves the discrepancy in the source notes. Liquipedia identifies WEM as organizer and lists Gigabyte and SteelSeries as sponsors. SteelSeries’ event-specific release confirms its gaming-gear supply and booth activation. The reported prize pool was KRW 85 million, and all 16 teams listed by Liquipedia now link to canonical PTG Team pages. Frag eXecutors defeated SK Gaming in the final.[1][2][3][4]
