Red Bull Flick Invitational Copenhagen offers path to glory
Filmed in front of a live audience, the Red Bull Flick Invitational Copenhagen event, also known as Red Bull Flick 2022, was cast by Frankie Ward, James Bardolph, Jacob “Pimp” Winneche and Lucy “LucyLuce” Eastwood.
Since its inaugural tournament back in 2019, Red Bull Flick has been giving players in the amateur scene the opportunity to showcase their skills while changing up the traditional 5v5 format in CS:GO esports. The 2v2 format also resulted in unpredictable twists.

For example, during Red Bull Flick 2021, two rookies took down G2 Esports. These two rookies were Team Garnuchy’s Paweł “Yamii” Posta and Maciej “ZireaelGG” Wɫodarski.
Puteli and 8Juho8’s victory this year only adds to the incredible legacy and impact of Red Bull Flick.
