HLTV.org is live from Arbalet Cup Dallas in the lone star state Texas in the United States of America.

Arbalet Cup has crossed the Atlantic and will this weekend be hosting their first event on American soil. Held at the Hella Shrine Center, teams will over the coming three days be competing for a $80,000 prize purse, which is the biggest purse so far in 2010.

Teams are set up and the first round of matches are underway. HLTV is set up, but the internet connection at the event is however far from optimal. So far it looks like it will be just fine, but don't be surprised if it should crash during the day.

The ball room at the Hella Shrine Center is a great scene for the event; it's dressed in a proper wrapping, promising for a great amount of action the coming three days. The internet connection, sadly, limits us to not feature livescore, as well as photo upload will be limited and take a long time for our sets to be uploaded.

We shot a few photos yesterday, click here to view them and make sure to stay updated on the Friday gallery once we start uploading. Find it by clicking here.
