You have decided. "Counter-Strike 2" has won the Community voting for the twelfth Digitec Playground Cup. You can now register for the tournament.

This was a clear victory for "Counter-Strike 2". The first-person shooter came out on top in the Community Voting with a whopping 27 per cent of the votes, ahead of "League of Legends" (13 per cent). This means that the next Digitec Playground will once again be a real blast.

Registration for the tournaments is now open.

Two tournaments in the Digitec Playground Cup

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 anyone who just wants to take part for fun. The game will be played 5v5 in the Swiss System. For the detailed rules, check out our Digitec Discord server.

Where can I watch?

Don't want to play yourself, but would rather watch the pros shoot? No problem. The two qualifiers of the Pro tournament and the two finals of the Pro and Grümpi tournaments will be broadcast live on Twitch and Youtube.

The streams are moderated by our "Counter-Strike" fan Simon Balissat, among others. Ballermann Simon already cast the Playground Cup Vol. 5 with "CS:GO" two years ago. 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.

Conditions of participation and rules

Who can take part
The majority of your team must be resident in Switzerland or Liechtenstein or have a Swiss passport / Swiss ID. We also adhere to the age restrictions of the game (PEGI 18).

Is there a level cap for the Grümpi tournament?
We use the Faceit system for tournament allocation. Participants with level 7 and lower are entered into the Grümpi tournament and participants with level 8 and higher are entered into the Pro tournament.

May I take part in the Pro and Grümpi tournaments?

No.

Do I have to take part in both qualifiers?

No, one qualifier is enough to reach the final.

May I register for two qualifier rounds?Yes. If it doesn't work the first time, you can try again.

When and where does the Cup take place?
The offline final will take place on Saturday 20 April in Zurich. The qualifiers will be played on 23 March and 6 April and will take place online. So you can take part from the comfort of your own home. As usual, there will once again be a Grümpi and a Pro tournament.

Where can I find more information and a detailed set of rules?

On the Digitec Discord server you will receive the latest updates on the tournament and can exchange information with other participants.

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
