Counter-Strike Championship kicks off

We're happy to unveil a new league today here at EuroGamer, the "PC Gamer Counter-Strike Championship", run in association with the OGA, WON.net Europe, and PC Gamer - the UK's biggest selling PC gaming magazine. Over the next few months 64 Counter-Strike clans will be battling it out on the "Bomb" and "Hostage Rescue" maps, and there are dozens of copies of Team Fortress 2 and Tribes 2 up for grabs in the competition.

To find out more, head over to the funky new PC Gamer Championships website. There you will find everything from information about Counter-Strike and links to strategy guides and forums, to the rules, schedule and a sign-up form where you can enter your own clan in the event. Get going!
