Last week, OGamingTV, a French web TV company, announced its own Counter-Strike tournament, called the Red Dot Invitational, featuring eight teams and a $50,000 prize pool. Six teams will receive direct invitations to play in this tournament, while the remaining two spots will be filled through a closed online qualifier for eight teams. The top four sides of the Red Dot Invitational will travel to France to contest the title at a famous Paris theater on January 12.  Vexed to face GreyFace in the first round
Running from November 15-23, the qualifier will kick off with a best-of-one, double-elimination group stage, with the top two sides from each group advancing to the best-of-three semi-finals. The biggest talking point about the group stage will be the presence of Australian side Legacy eSports, who will be bootcamping in Sweden ahead of the FACEIT League Stage 3 finals, at DreamHack Winter.
