Golden eSports Christmas Knockout: Week 6! in General Discussion
ESL | Snith

    As of this year, we're now hosting two Dota 2 tournaments every other weekend so that everyone has an option that suits them well. We'll be continuing our regular old Weekend Knockouts but adding a Premium tournament for those who which to increase the stakes. The Premium tournaments will have an entry fee of which 80% will go directly towards the prize pool, so the more teams that participate, the more money there is to make!

    In order to enable further development within the teams, we've decided to share the prize pool among the top three finishers, more information regarding the numbers can be found down below. We've also updated the prize of the normal Weekend Knockouts, where the winner will receive a Free Entry to a Premium tournament of his or her chosing. Our belief is that this gives everyone a chance to compete for the gold, just like we want it! The only question is; Are you up for the challenge?

    Golden eSports is hosting its sixth weekly tournament open to all teams. As we've opened registration to our premium tournament, we've started out with a maximum of 16 teams per tournament. However, if we get enough signups we're ready to increase it to fit the participating teams. As always, we'll be running all games as best of ones firing off the first round at 18:00 CET // 12:00 EST. All payments will be made within 48 hours so make sure to submit your PayPal information before you leave!

    Our ambition with these tournaments, just as with our league, is to offer a reoccurring event to act as a platform for amateur teams as well as casters to practice and improve with added incentive in form of the prize pool. We'll be casting one selected game per round from our studio in Sweden starting at 19:00 CET. All games are open for casters to cast, message us through IRC and we'll assist you in finding the lobbies that you desire.
