London MiNT are scheduled to play Birmingham Salvo in the Grand Final of Multiplay's i33 event in Newbury, UK.
Newbury, UK – 112 teams are in attendance, all competing for a slice of the €10,000 prize pot. The Counter-Strike: Source tournament is both Turn up and Play (TUP) and Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC). The addition of TUP to this event has drawn in more top European teams than ever before, and the event is shaping up to be one of the most competitive LANs in Europe this year.

The tournament begins with a group stage, which started at 6:00pm GMT on Friday. Each group holds three teams, with the top two teams advancing to enter the double elimination bracket. The grand final for Counter-Strike: Source is currently pencilled in for 9:30pm GMT on Sunday, although it is subject to change.

GotFrag is live on-site in Newbury to provide up to the minute match scores and updates along with SourceTVs, interviews, photo galleries, Dr. Gonz0 blogs and more!
