HP has garnered quite the reputation among top tier gaming brands with their line-up of various gaming gears under the OMEN branding. They have partnered up with HLTV to bring us an exquisite 1 versus 1 challenge on the 20th of September 2019.
HP will allow two amateur players to take part in this event, players are required to submit replays of their three best-ranked games, and upon submission, they will be shortlisted by OMEN and then their demos will be handed over to Astralis coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen to handpick two players among the lot.
The selected individuals will be then facing few of the worlds best players in Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, Nicolai “device” Reedtz, Nikola “NiKo” Kovač Denis “electronic” Sharipov and Havard “raiN” Nygaard for a cash reward of $50000.
You can find all the details about how you can enter the recruitment process:
1. Join the OMEN Challenge 2019 Steam Group
2. Play CS: GO competitively (ranked), during the recruitment period demonstrating your best abilities.
3. Submit your best 3 match share codes via DM to the OMEN Steam account to impress zonic (players will not be considered if they submit fewer than three replays).
OMEN by HP will also offer the two selected players a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a boot camp ahead of the event with zonic and other members of Astralis’ coaching staff to learn how to optimize their in-game performance and how to prepare mentally and physically for a big tournament.
The tournament will be help on a special location which is undisclosed as of yet and it will involve a 4-man deathmatch before we get into the main 1v1s on a specially designed map by OMEN for this event. Viewers can follow the action from home on a live stream with some prominent guests who are TBD as well.
