With information regarding ESWC being on a something of a drip feed, many will be comforted to see the rulebooks for each tournament being published in .pdf format on their homepage. And yes, Counter-Strike: Source is included.

While it still isn't exactly clear who will be going, who will be holding qualifiers and how many teams will make it to the CS:S component of the event, at least we know such juicy titbits such as "Counter-Strike: Source will have knife rounds in order to decide sides."

So far the rules for Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Source, Warcraft 3, Defence of the Ancients and Starcraft 2 have been published. FIFA and Trackmania will follow shortly.
