Play It Cool All

DreamHack have announced the final team lineup and dates for the Play It Cool All-Stars event which will take place in Stockholm, Sweden on December 19th.

DreamHack's "Play It Cool CS:GO Community Challenge" was announced back in November and offered two separate tournaments to amateur fans and teams which would allow them to play versus some of their favourite players.

Sponsored by ASUS ROG, the first event took place during DreamHack Winter and allowed players to challenge some of the game's talents in aim battles, with the winner of the "shooutout" receiving a ASUS ROG G752 laptop and a space on the All-Stars team for the final event (the winner being Swedish fan Benjamin “lolz1e” Borgman).

Amateur teams have also been competing in five online cups hosted by FACEIT with the winner of each cup playing from home against the All-Star team on December 19th.

On that day, the All-Star lineup will play live from a studio in Stockholm, Sweden against the five qualifying teams.

More details on potential rewards from ASUS for the challenging teams can be found at DreamHack's page here as there is plenty of hardware up for grabs for the best performing community team.

The All-Stars lineup for the event is:

Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund
Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon
Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill
James "⁠BARDOLPH⁠" Bardolph
Benjamin “lolz1e” Borgman

There will also be live production and entertainment from the Stockholm studio on December 19th. The on-air talent for Play It Cool All-Stars will be:

Pala "⁠Pala⁠" Gilroy Sen
Joona "⁠natu⁠" Leppänen
Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer
Matthew ”Sadokist” Trivett

There are still two more online cups to go for teams that would like to face-off against the All-Stars lineup, on December 12th and 13th. Registration for Cup #4 can be found here and for Cup #5 here.
