Never before have so many organizations hosted open-for-all cups with a prize pool over the hundred-dollar bill. When the weekend comes, a StarCraft 2 contestant has four tournaments to sign up for. The organization that can boast with the highest prize sum are ESL with their 900 Euro prize pool, spanned out over a month. With their well-known brand and high prize pool ESL Go4SC2 has attracted the most players so far.
The popular ZOTAC Cup, heading into their fifth edition already, is in second place with 275 signups this far. The Sunday cups have become a massive hit which was proved with last week's 662 signups.
