A smaller prize pool is also allocated to the open division in which upcoming teams can compete against the best in Asia for a spot in the next season of the RGN League. Teams in the open league will be accummulating points over four seasons throughout the year.
All the games of the RGN League will be casted by RGN casters of assorted languages. More details of the tournament will be released shortly.
