-IN ENGLISH- Oulu Arctic Gaming ry is again organizing the Oulu Academic Kynäri Cup, a Counter-Strike 2 tournament taking place in October. All students at the University of Oulu and Oulu University of Applied Sciences are welcome. This time, alumni
(already graduated players) are also accepted! Registration opens on September 17, 2025, and is free for everyone. The winning team’s players will be awarded official OAKC medals. There will also be overall patches available!
The tournament will be held on October 24–26. Matches will mainly be played between 17:00–21:00.
You can register as an individual player, an incomplete team, or a full roster. The organizers will form balanced teams from individual players, who will then compete in the tournament. So if you don’t yet have a team, you’re still welcome to join as a
player! Don’t hesitate to sign up. Team registration is done by the captain on behalf of the team, and each team can include five players plus up to two substitutes. To participate, each player needs a free Faceit account. Teams may also submit their team
logo to the organizers if they wish.
