After four weeks of qualifiers, we are ready to get going with the main dish! Eight supreme teams will lock horns on April 11-12 to decide who gets to serve and who gets to dine.
The first out of a total of three announced cups is coming to end, and looks to end with a proper bang. Eight great European teams have mastered their way through the qualifiers and are now hungry for the grand prize.
1st - $2,000 + 5x Roccat Kave XTD Stereo + 5x Roccat Kone XTD
2nd - $750 + 5x Roccat Kone Pure + 5x Roccat Hiro Mousepads
3rd - $250 + 5x Roccat Kone Pure
Worth remembering is that the top four of this cup will automatically get invited to the main event of the next $5,000 cup without having to go through additional qualifiers. Same applies for those finishing top four of the second cup, they will be automatically invited to the main event of the $10,000 third cup.
