Could you answer the following please?
1. What are the full specifications of your server? RAM, Storage, clock speed, etc.
2. What OS do you use? (Windows or Linux, which versions?)
3. In your above post did you mean to say you used 2 cores per SRCDS instance or 2 cores per virtual server instance on which you ran multiple 128 tick CSGO SRCDS's instances?
4. How many 128 tick csgo servers did you run? What are the resources per csgo server?
5. How much did the price workout to?

I dont really know how ESEA, FACEIT, CEVO, ESL manages their servers, but there are some possibilities. Either they have a multiple game instances running in one dedi/bare metal/VM or a single game instance running in one VM. It's about scaling and resources, why would you run 100 game instances when demand is low?
I dont really go "technical" on SRCDS performance, but I just look at the performance of the SRCDS instance by hooking up "htop" and monitoring both the CPU and RAM usage constantly.
1. On DigitalOcean, I ran the 2vCPUs and 2GB RAM spec, with total bandwidth of 2TB. The clock speed was around 2.6/2.7Ghz.
2. I ran Ubuntu 16 without any modifications on the kernel or the system itself, but to avoid query attack/ddos, I have a in-house custom solution.
3. At some cases I was able to run 2x 10-slot 128tick servers with the spec above, but I noticed sometimes CPU usage is not stable when sourcemod plugins are doing intensive mysql queries. Running 1x 128tick server is more than enough on that spec.
4. SRCDS instance ran in one core, with max 900MB of RAM usage.
5. It was $15, eventhough DDoS protection is not available, it's worth it.
