Areena #2 by ROCCAT this weekend

The second Areena tournament, dubbed Areena #2 by ROCCAT due to its sponsorship with the German peripherals manufacturer, is taking place this Saturday in Helsinki.

This time the HLTV issues have been resolved and every match will feature a public HLTV, and the organizers encourage anyone to stream the games as well. All POV and HLTV demos will once again be uploaded by the next day.
