Translation: machine translated
The last qualifier for the Digitec Playground takes place this weekend. Register and play for great prizes. Or watch the livestream.
The second and final qualifier round for the Digitec Playground Cup with "Counter-Strike 2" will take place on Saturday, 6 April. First place in the Pro or Grümpi qualifier will earn the teams a place in the big offline final. This will take place on 20 April in Zurich.
Where can I watch?
Don't want to play yourself, but would rather watch the pros shoot? The qualifier of the Pro tournament and the two finals of the Pro and Grümpi tournaments will be broadcast live on Twitch and Youtube.
The second qualifier will be moderated by the "Counter-Strike" and shooter experts Remo Blaser and aRTycH. Our baller Simon Balissat will be commentating on the final. Two years ago, he already cast the Playground Cup Vol. 5 with "CS:GO". Now he is making his comeback for the sequel.
In the Digitec Playground Playlist, you can already watch past Cups with "CS:GO", "Apex Legends" and other games.
Where can I register?
The twelfth Digitec Playground Cup will once again consist of two separate tournaments. A pro tournament for the best of the best and a Grümpi tournament for everyone who just wants to take part for fun.
The Faceit system will be used for the tournament allocation. Participants with level 7 and lower play in the Grümpi tournament and participants with level 8 and higher play in the Pro tournament. The game is played 5v5 in the Swiss System. For the detailed rules, take a look at our Digitec Discord server.
What is there to win
? The top two finishers in the two qualifiers (Pro and Grümpi) can play in the offline final in Zurich.
The following prizes (per team member) can be won at the final of the Pro tournament:

Even more Playground
You want even more "Counter-Strike" and information about the Playground?
I spoke to ex-professional and "Counter-Strike" caster Remo Blaser about the history of the Swiss scene:
In order to shorten the waiting time for the next qualifier and the final, we invited three shooter professionals and confronted them with prejudices about their favourite games.
