We saw great success with our first CS:GO tournament for iGaming companies at the Nova Series #2 event in April. We’ve now decided to host yet another gaming tournament. Once again we’re working with our friends at Quickfire and will be hosting the tournament at the upcoming Nova Series #3. The event will take place 24-26 August.
The tournament will be played on the main stage of the Nova Series at the Intercontinental Arena in St Julians. All matches will be streamed on Twitch with professional casters.
This is a great opportunity for your employees to have a strong team-building experience. As a bonus you will also get some visibility towards the esports audience. The event is free to visit as a spectator, so bring the rest of your colleagues to cheer your team to victory!
Last time around we had teams from Unibet, Redbet, Tipico and Casumo on the operator side, as well as Catena Media on the affiliation side. Unibet ended up bringing home the trophy after an intense final against Redbet. Now you have the chance to have your company hoist the trophy!
We’re hoping for more companies to participate with teams this time around, as we at least have a little bit more time for planning. All companies with a tie to the iGaming industry are welcome.
We will also host a pre-party at the Eden Superbowl on Wednesday 22 August for a chance to do some networking for people involved and/or interested in esports within iGaming.

Map selection
Only current Active Duty Maps will be available for the tournament.
Maps will be selected by alternate banning of maps until three maps remains. Then teams choose one each out of the remaining.
