The whole press crew from fnatic arrived at the location. We just got our press cards and looked around the area's a bit. In my opinion the location is from the same standards as last year and the main stage looks very good. I just looked a female counterstrike match on stage wich was Queens vs Megapolis ( Queens won ). The screens look very good and makes it very easy to spectate a game. I'm looking forward to give live report from here. The press area is very suitable for good coverage. The schedule said that the games started at 10am but thats not totally true. The Counterstrike area is now being used by our beloved female gamers. The admins said that the male tournament will start at around 3:00pm CET. As soon as the first matches have been played I will update this page with the scores and maybe for some matches even a little matchreport. Read more to see more details
