This weekend will see the two-day, $100,000 iBUYPOWER CS:GO Invitational take place and we have prepared a viewer's guide to help shepherd you through the event.

With November offering a plethora of events on North American soil, we now relocate from the plains of Ohio to balmy Santa Ana, California for the $100,000 iBUYPOWER Invitational Cup.

The event brings together eight teams either living or playing in North America for two days of best-of-one group matches and best-of-three semifinals and a grand final.

The Cup takes place during iBUYPOWER's "eSports Day" at the eSports Arena in Santa Ana, and rewards a whopping $65,000 to the winner as well as an equally prestigious qualification for IEM San Jose to the highest placing, non-invited team (i.e. not Cloud9 or Luminosity).
