There are 2 tournaments, 1 for the EU region and the second for the NA region. To carry the tournaments out with the sufficient number of administrators, we decided to create 2 sub-tournaments for each region’s event. Thus, we start off with four tournaments - two for NA and two for EU. Max. 256 players in each. These are qualifiers and top 16 from each of these will proceed to two final playoffs - one playoff for EU region and the other for NA region. With 32 players in each final playoff tournament, we will distribute the prize pool to Top 16 in each. Please note that the tournaments are completely free to join and everyone can do just that.
