Does it work for CS2 tournaments too?
Yes! LiveCup works perfectly for both CS:GO and CS2 tournaments. The format is the same – just create your tournament and start playing.
What is the best CS:GO tournament format for 8 teams at a LAN party?
For 8 teams at a LAN party, the Groups + Playoff format (2 groups of 4, then single-elimination semifinals) is ideal. You can also use a single-elimination bracket for a faster tournament. Round robin would require 28 matches, which may be too long for one session.

Groups are drawn at random – instantly or with an animated ceremony – or you set them by hand to keep the strongest teams apart. You decide which one to use for each tournament.

Use our TV Mode to cast the live bracket, standings, and match results to any screen (TV, projector, monitor). The bracket updates automatically as matches complete, with animated transitions.
How long does a typical CS:GO tournament take?
It depends on format and team count. Single elimination with 8 teams (BO1 matches): ~2-3 hours. Groups + Playoff: 3-5 hours. Full round robin league with 8 teams: 6-8 hours.
Is this CS:GO tournament software good for gaming cafes?
