About
5v5, online, weeknights throughout July. If you can field a five, you're in. Revive the old roster or put together a mixed squad who just want to get back in the server.
💶 €50 entry per team, per title (€10 per player) 🥇 €300 prize pool per title (€200 1st / €100 2nd) 🗓️ Registration closes Friday 3 July 🎮 Finals Week begins 27 July
Every entry helps support and fund the Collegiate Series for the next generation of student competitors.
The pre-event seeds for the event were as follows[1] :
1. Munchbunch
2. Timmy's Daycare
3. Cache Me If You Can
4. D Padgeywadgies
5. The Silver Smurfers
The first week of this event was played with 4 teams, but expanded to 5 teams to later include The Silver Smurfers who were later given the 5th seed. As such, the original tournament page was invalidated with a new page created. In addition, it was decided by popular vote amongst the teams that the rest of the group stage games would be played as best of 2 games instead of best of 3 games. Additionally, each of the 5 teams would be given a single Bye in the group stage such that each team would play all other teams in the new tournament format with the additional team added.[2]
