13 November, StarLadder returns for its fourth season. The online part with 16 teams and 120 matches will last until 11 December. Christmas will be early this year, as the LAN finals will be held from 20 to 23 December. Significant changes have been made to the prizepool distribution this time around. While the pool remains at $15,000, now only the top four will be awarded with money. At the same time it's just four teams being invited to the LAN final with double elimination brackets. All games in the Cybersports Arena in Kiev will be best-of-threes, except for the final which is best-of-five.
