The ESEA Global Challenge LAN is a project aimed at bringing underdeveloped regions the opportunity to get their teams into international competition.
The tournament will feature $50k in prizes and will compensate for all travelling expenses of the teams. This will facilitate the process that up-and-coming teams have to go through in order to get themselves known on the big stage.

2 teams from North America (Top 2 Premier)
2 teams from Europe (Top 2 Premier)
1 team from Brazil (Regional Winner)
1 team from Australia (Regional Winner)

2nd: $10.000
3rd: $5.000
