MoonduckTV announced that the third edition of the hugely popular Elimination Mode. The tournament will start this very Saturday.
As usual, teams will be allowed to only pick or ban heroes once per series. 3.0 also comes with an increased prize pool of $25,000 ($20,000 in 2.0), as well as several other changes. The community will have even more influence in the team’s picks and bans with the 30 additional hero bans per day.
The tournament will also feature two separate NA and EU brackets where four teams from each region will fight for the winning spot in the grand final and the opportunity to face the best team from the rival region. The last two surviving teams will decide who deserves to be the champion of Elimination mode 3.0 in a best-of-five match, while all other games will be played in a best-of-three.
Three of the teams will make their tournament debuts – Wanted and Onyx from NA and Ninjas in Pyjamas from EU.
The match opener will begin on February 11th 17:00 CET between OG and Alliance, while the grand final will take place on February 17th 18:00 CET.
