GosuCup returns with $100

bw-gosucup-logo.jpg

Who still remembers the old GosuCup? Well, it's back, six qualifiers, $100 and a chance to qualify for the next season.

We've bugged you several times with our Beta Cups to test our new platform over at play.gosugamers.net, and now, we finally bring you a tournament that will make proper use of it.

This tournament will be the first season of the renewed GosuCup and will hold a prize pool of $100, winner takes it all. But the top four of this season will automatically qualify for the next season, which will hold no less than $500.

How does it work?

It's very simple. We will hold six qualifiers, each at Sunday evenings at 19CET, starting this upcoming Sunday.

The qualifiers hold a cap of 32 players so check in quickly to stand a chance. The two finalists of each qualifier who will qualify for the group stage are not eligible for playing in another qualifier.

After those six weeks, a groupstage of four groups each consisting of three players will be held also on a Sunday ( 19:00 CET ). Each player will play the other two players in his group in a best of three, where the individual games will count as the score that will determine who will advance. The two players of each group with the most points advance to the next stage which will be held the week after.

This stage will consist of a single elimination bracket with the remaining eight players, starting with a best of five in the round of eight and semi finals and a best of seven in the grand finale.

The winner of the grand finale will win the $100, and all semi finalists will automatically qualify for the second season which will hold a total prizepool of $500.

Who can participate?

Everyone who is not currently listed as banned on our blacklist can partake in the joy of StarCraft, the chance of qualifying to the next stage, and a shot at the prizemoney.

The map pool

We will try to provide an accurate mappool each week consisting of latest KeSPA maps and a user prefered map for which we will add weekly polls on our frontpage, starting next week.

This week's mappool will consist of Alternative 1.3, Neo Beltway 2.0, Neo Aztec 2.1, New Bloody Ridge 2.1 and Circuit Breakers 1.0.
