History

Gamegune is a European eSports competition. It has become a stalwart of Euskal Encounter over previous years and Counter Strike 1.6 is its star game.

It was set up as a Counter-Strike 1.6 competition. The prize was a place for the CPL (Cyberathlete Professional League) and the winner went to Dallas with all expenses paid to compete in the final.

Thirty-two teams of different nationalities, mainly European, but also from South America, North America and different Asian countries, have taken part in each Gamegune.

Gamegune has been held 11 times as part of Euskal Encounters, twice in Mexico as part of Aldea Digital, and it took place for the first time as a differentiated event in 2014 at the Euskalduna Conference Centre.

The venue this year will be the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and one of the most interesting competitions of 2015, HearthStone, will be in centre stage.
