This Saturday, March 14th, the QPAD USA team will be on hand at the US Finals as part of QPAD’s Global Sponsorship of Kode 5. The event will be taking place at Lethal Gamers in Dallas, Texas with the top eight North American Counter-Strike 1.6 teams in attendance. The winner of the tournament will earn a berth to the Kode 5 Global Finals later this year. Last year’s final was held in Moscow, but year’s location is yet to be announced.
Earlier this year, the US Evil Geniuses squad was able to win the regional qualifier and earn their spot at the United States final. To fill out the other seven spots, Kode 5 invited the other seven top teams in the country. The tournament will feature a double-elimination bracket.

The tourney will be a single-elimination 1v1 competition in Counter-Strike 1.6 on aim_qpad. The tourney should not only feature some of the best players in the world, but it will also be open to the public that is on hand to spectate. It will also give everyone at the event a chance to try out both the QPAD mouse pad collection as well as the recently released QPAD QH-1339 Premium Gaming Headset. The first prize for the event will be $200 cash and the victor will also get their choice of any QPAD mouse pad.
