CGo Finals Information
[hr]
I would like to apologize on behalf of the CS:S Staff for the late notice of the finals. The CGo finals will be held on Sunday, the 7th of March. The teams who have made the top 8 should have received an email last night which contained most of the info you will need about the finals.

EAC IS GOING TO BE USED FOR THE CGO FINALS! Please read the EAC setup guide:
for more information.

Quarter Finals
The quarter finals will start at 7:30pm (AEST). All teams are to have 5 players ready in the server before 7:30pm, so matches can start on time. The numbers below refers to your teams ranking on the ladder.

*1st place vs 4th place (Match 1)
*2nd place vs 6th place (Match 2)
*3rd place vs 7th place (Match 3)
*5th place vs 8th place (Match 4)

All quarter finals matches will be played on de_dust2 and you will be knifing for teams.

Semi Finals
The semi-finals will start at 8:30pm (AEST). Both semi-final matches will be played on de_inferno and will played on the same night as the quarter final matches.

*Winner of Match 1 vs Winner of Match 3
*Winner of Match 2 vs Winner of Match 4

The winners of both semi-finals will proceed through to the Grand Final. The time and date of the Grand Final will be decided by both of the winning teams. It will follow a best of three (Bo3) format.

CS:S CGo Finals and Updates



CGo Ladder Finals
On Saturday the 27th of February, the top 8 ranked teams on the CGo ladder will be locked. This means that no new challenges can made against these teams. Any challenges made against a top 8 team before the 27th of February will be played out. After all remaining matches have been completed, the remaining top 8 teams will proceed into the CGo finals, which will be played the following week.

The CGo finals will follow a single elimination format. If a team loses a match, they will be knocked out of the finals. The final two teams will proceed into the Grand Final, which will follow a best of three format. The first team to win two matches will be crowned CGo champions!

Changes in the upcoming CGo season
The CGo ladder will be undergoing some important changes over the next few weeks. All teams currently competing on the CGo ladder will need to read this article and sort out any issues with these new changes over the coming weeks.

The new CS:S CGo season will start shortly after the finals from the previous season have been played out. With the new season, comes a new anti-cheat program. The CGo ladder will be using EasyAntiCheat (EAC) instead of X-ray this season!



EasyAntiCheat is a far more effective anti-cheat program and is a lot easier to use than X-ray. Here are a few advantages that EAC has over X-ray:
* EAC is only 3MB in size. You'll have it downloaded in no time.
* Over half of disputes were due to problems with X-ray. Changing to EAC will save your time and the admins time.
* EAC uses a stand-alone .exe file, which means you don't have to install it.
* EAC does not require you to register an account, you just run the program.
* EAC screenshots are automatically uploaded to a server and are only viewable by admins.

All the information you will need about EAC, including a download link, setup guide and answers to common questions and problems can be found here:
Please read through the whole topic, as it will answer most of your questions. If you are still having problems using EAC or have any questions about it, you can send in a support ticket:

Easy Anti Cheat, or EAC will be used for All League and MEGA Comp matches. Open Ladder will be changing to EAC after the finals at the end of Feb. Read more on CGo updates here:


Easy Anti Cheat lives up to its name, it really is very easy! Bellow is the step by step process for you to follow to get it up and running correctly.

#Download the EAC Client. Click the Teddy :


#Move this file to your desktop. This is the only file EAC has, there is no installation! So easy

#Double click the EAC client . Make sure you read the DISCLAIMER at least once! Do not just click yes

#In the server window list, scroll down towards the bottom and select "CyberGamer.com.au"

#Wait 30seconds to allow EAC to contact CG servers properly

#Load your game and wait 30seconds at the main menu

#Join the server as normal

#EAC will auto tag your steam ID and Game name when you join the server

#Steam friends will not work with EAC. If you alt tab to use steam friends, you run the risk of having the steam friends overlay stuck over your game until you restart both EAC and CSS, or even your PC.

#If you have not done the above properly, you will be kicked in about 30 seconds.

#Play your match as you normally would.

#When you exit the game, close EAC.


Note: Steam friends will not work once you join a server.

Note: EAC will NOT allow you to play if you have any VAC bans from other games(1.6, TF2 etc etc) which are applied to your steam account.

See below for a more in-depth guide on how to use EAC client.
