Europe vs US in CS:GO show match

Tune in at 00:00 to see Europe take on the United States in a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive show match.

While New York is definitely the place to be for competitive electronic sports this week, it is also the place to be if you want to catch a glimpse of the new Counter-Strike sequel by Valve.

Over the past couple of months, Valve have been releasing information and videos regarding the upcoming sequel to an eager and hungry audience. Later today we will get to see more.

Taking place at the Intel Extreme Masters 6 Global Challenge New York event, a show match between European and United States-based players will be held, among them two old faces.

Kyle "Ksharp" Miller, one of the most famous players in the history of American e-sports and the man who formed Team3D, will be joined by his former teammate Sal "Volcano" Garozzo.

Representing Europe and the United States are:

Patrick "cArn" Sättermon
Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Martin "trace" Heldt
Danny "zonic" Sørensen
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen

Tyler "Storm" Wood
Danny "fRoD" Montaner
Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert
Sal "Volcano" Garozzo
Kyle "Ksharp" Miller

To make the match even more interesting, Intel and BenQ have been kind enough to sponsor a batch of nifty prizes. Winners will take home an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition each, while the losers will snatch five BenQ XL2410T monitors.

You will be able to watch the match, which is scheduled to take place at 00:00 , on ESL TV. Click here to access the stream.
