From over 500 to just sixteen, we're now entering the closing stages of the North American ESWC qualifier and with two all expenses paid trips to the grand final at PAX later this month there's a lot on the line.

In what has been the largest CS:Global Offensive tournament to date we witnessed half a thousand teams go to war with one another in two separate open brackets for a spot in the last sixteen. Joining the eight victors will be eight direct invites to the tournament, teams who have history in either CS:S, 1.6 or CoD4 and once we're left with just two teams they will be flown out to PAX later this month where they will fight it out with the two direct invites - Dynamic and Torqued - for a spot at this years ESWC in Paris, France.

You can catch all of the action right here on Cadred.org. Until then, here is the bracket.
