Silentgaming takes victory in the second digitec Playground
by Philipp Rüegg
All good things come in threes: On 30 January 2021, e-sports teams from all over Switzerland will compete for the "digitec Playground" Cup, for the first time in a grumbling tournament. In which game you decide.
The best teams in "Counter Strike: Global Offensive" and "Rainbow Six: Siege" have fought it out and won prizes in the last two editions of our Cup. That was a year ago and this summer. A brief look back: KINGZZZ won the first Cup, SILENTGAMING won the second Cup with aplomb, before the whole SILENTGAMING organisation disbanded two days later after 14 years . That had nothing to do with the "digitec Playground" victory. Or did it? After all, you should leave when it's at its best.
On 30 January 2021, the third round will begin and you'll be asked again. Which game should it be? We've already had "CS: GO" and "Rainbow Six: Siege", so they're no longer available for selection. In case you're wondering why "FIFA 21" is missing from the list: Electronic Arts charges licence fees to host a tournament. We'd rather save that money to offer you better prices. The situation is similar for "League of Legends"
Which game should be played?
The competition has ended.
The vote will run until 3 November 2020.
In addition to the professional tournament, we are organising a Grümpi at the same time for the first time. The random generator will assign you to a team. More details about the fun tournament will be available as soon as the game is finalised
Who can take part?
Theoretically anyone. However, we adhere to the age restrictions of the respective games.
When does the Cup take place?
The final is on 30 January. The date of qualification will follow with the announcement of the match. The game will be played online, so you can take part from home.
Where can I register?
As soon as the vote is over, Phil will announce all further information in a follow-up article.
What's up for grabs
We are working with various sponsors to bring you the most attractive prizes possible. Details to follow.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
