Global Challenge Dubai is set to kick off at 09:30CET, but that will hardly happen, as a few starting problems have popped up.

The first round of matches in Group A, was set to start 09:30CET. The organizers did however seem a bit behind on scheduled, when the teams showed up ready to plug their gear in. The organizers were still setting up a few things on the main stage (where fnatic and MYM will play the first match), but also the four rows in the tournament area were just in the making, as monitors and PC’s were still being brought in.

The teams playing first today; fnatic, MYM, WeMade FOX, KerchNET, Alternate and Assassins List are all on site, ready to set up. The two Swedish teams are currently set on stage, getting ready to play. The other four teams are just about to be seated. My guess is that the matches will start in roughly thirty minutes, but it could be longer.

Also I bring sad news, as it has been confirmed that there will be no HLTV available for the playoffs, as all matches will be shown on ESL TV.

Stay tuned for more updates from HLTV.org here at Global Challenge Dubai.
