There have been a bunch of other references to it, href="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=24307076">on Twitter and so forth.

And update on href="http://www.facebook.com/ESEA.net">the ESEA Facebook page reads “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive… More info in the morning.” So it looks like we can expect something later today.
