The Red Bull Flick Invitational Copenhagen returns in November this year. Amateur players will put themselves on the spot against professionals in this 2v2 competition.
The Red Bull Flick Invitational is a unique twist to the traditional 5v5 format in CS: GO. The tournament series started in 2019 and gives amateurs an opportunity to showcase their skill and talent. Last year, we had quite a few upsets, in particular, Polish rookies Team Garnuchy won out against both BIG Clan and G2’s Duos teams.
For many fans, playing against their favorite pros is a once in a lifetime opportunity and Red Bull Flick Invitational is the perfect platform. Most likely, the amateurs will lose, but the experience they gain is unparalleled – along with bragging rights of having won this many rounds against a pro player.
