What do I need to make Tournament?
Hey everyone, I looked up information online about setting up a CS GO tournament. I found some Reddit discussions but wanted to clarify my needs. I’m aiming to link 10–11 PCs together with strong connections and low ping. I also want to know if I should upgrade my PC specs or if I can run the game using my current hardware. Connecting all these machines will be a fun small event. I think a Cat 5 or Cat 6 connection is necessary, but those connectors are pricey. Should I use a hub or handle the networking myself? Thanks in advance and let me know what I should prepare!
Think of it as linking everything to a 15-port switch. A mid-range i5 or i7 should handle it just fine for running the server.
If you want the PC without an i5 or i7, my friend has a 6600K and he can't overclock. I have a Ryzen 1400, but we can use a Ryzen 1600 for hosting. The server only needs to support 10 players because it's a 5v5 competition—it's not a large tournament.
