e-stars has announced ten Counter-Strike 1.6 teams, both West and East Coast for this years 2010 event. The event is scheduled to take place from August 13th-15th at Seoul’s COEX D Hall. Now that e-stars has announced the teams, the community can now vote for their favorite teams. It was reported last year that the organization received over 1.5 million votes.

The voting process is broken down into three sections: 30 percent will be based on last season’s tournament results, while 20 percent will be the opinion of the event’s committee and 50 percent will go towards the final team selection.
On June 23rd, six Counter-Strike 1.6 teams are expect to be announced by the South Korean organization.
