eUnited revealed as first invited team at Mustache Masters charity tournament

eUnited are the first invited team that will be playing in the CS:GO Mustache Masters charity tournament, an online event to raise awareness of men's health and all proceeds are going to the Movember Foundation sponsored by ESEA and Nerd Street Gamers.

Three more invited North American teams will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the event on 23-24th November.

There are open signups to allow anyone, whether they have facial hair or not, to enter into the tournament for a donation fee for $15 and there are currently sixteen team slots in total to fill. While the prizes are TBD, they will have a community focus and the real prize will be the stretch goals on stream. A clown suit has already been mentioned on social media as a $10,000 reward, but the full list of goals will likely feature even more clowning around for charity.

This is an online event but there will be on-camera talent for the stream including Rush B Media founder Ryan "RyanAtRBM" Friend, freelance caster Mike "DarfMike" Winnick and Chris "PluRO" Palac. Other CS scene talent and personalities possibly feature to cast or chat for a good cause over the weekend.

The CS:GO community has a long-standing history with raising money during Movember. In 2016, over £20,000 was raised in a campaign launched by Henry "HenryG" Greer, Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett and Jason "moses" O'Toole. Stretch goals saw Alex "Machine" Richardson get a Brazilian, a HenryG and Sadokist kiss, waxing and other antics thanks to the money raised reaching various targets. Another £20,000 was raised in 2018 with donation goals once again featuring waxing and pies, with other challenges like the 'polar bear challenge' thrown in for good measure.
