On Saturday, the best "Counter-Strike" teams will battle for fame, honour and great prizes in the final of the Playground Cup. You can be there live.

This weekend, the Digitec Playground Cup is back in action. The best "Counter-Strike" teams in Switzerland will compete against each other in the grand final on Saturday.

Two finals will be played - a final match of the Pro tournament and a final match of the Grümpi tournament. In the Pro final, "mYinsanity" will face "FlyingH1rsch". In the Grümpi final, "anyoney home" will take on "Raclet everywhe". The teams qualified for the final in one of the two qualifiers. The division into the Grümpi and Pro tournaments took place via the Faceit system. Participants with level 7 and below were placed in the Grümpi tournament and participants with level 8 and above in the Pro tournament.

The livestream will be hosted by shooter expert aRTycH and our baller Simon Balissat. Two years ago, he already cast the Playground Cup Vol. 5 with "CS:GO". Now he is making his comeback for the sequel.

The Digitec editorial team took on the "Counter-Strike" pros from mYinsanity. The result won't surprise you - but it's certainly entertaining:

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.
