How to watch FLASHPOINT Season 1 – Stream, schedule, teams

Scott Robertson

Flashpoint’s organizers have revealed a new online schedule for the CS:GO competition’s remaining matches for Phase 1, after announcing a transition to completely online play earlier in the week.

Due to the ongoing concern surrounding the virus outbreak, Flashpoint joined ESL in moving all future matches online after suspending offline play on Monday, March 16.

The new competitive Counter-Strike venture between B Site Inc. and FACEIT kicked off its first season on March 13, but fans only got to watch one weekend of the teams actually competing together in person.

Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields, who is participating in the leadership of FLASHPOINT’s creative direction, cheekily remarked that Flashpoint was now one of the “top two online CS:GO “league” in the world confirmed,” after the news they were moving to all-online format broke.

Groups

With the rescheduling, multiple matches between teams from the same group will no longer be held on the same day, but other than that, the groups should stay the same.

  • Group A (Ingame Feeders): Mad Lions, Copenhagen Flames (CPHF), c0ntact, HAVU
  • Group B (Assisted Living): FunPlus Phoenix, Cloud9, Orgless, Dignitas
  • Group C (Snakes and Ratters): Gen.G, Envy, MIBR, Chaos Esports Club

Format/schedule

FLASHPOINT Season 1 kicks off with three double-elimination GSL group stage brackets with four teams each. The winners of each group stage will be split into separate groups for the second stage, with all the other teams split between the three as well.

The new schedule for Phase 1 swaps the order of matches to better suit teams as they transition to playing from home or from the LA apartments provided by the tournament organizers.

Flashpoint has also confirmed that any previous dates for Phase 2 are currently being reviewed, and have yet to be confirmed as they work to finalize the schedule.
