Once again we get to that time, Counter Strike Source is still going strong at Insomnia, despite the imminent arrival of Global Offensive. Our partners ESL are hosting our massive online qualifier tournament for Insomnia46 once again, and this time, it will take place throughout the month of July. The Insomnia45 online qualifiers attracted 148 teams, with CRYSTAL-SERV coming out with the win and ended up in the 5th-8th final position at the LAN tournament.

Prizes this time around consist of not two, but THREE sets of tickets to Insomnia46. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams will be granted tickets for 5 players to attend Insomnia46 in our CSS BYOC (Bring your own computer) hall and skip the group stages on the Friday of the event. Thats £1,605 worth of prizes for this online tournament!
