France, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Spain, Russia, Ukraine, and Poland have been invited to propose five player teams for the StarCraft 2 community to vote on. From the original list of five players, teams will be narrowed down to a final three.
Nations will then be split into two groups, where they will play all-kill clan war matches in a GSL style bracket. The top two teams from each bracket will advance to a single elimination playoffs. The prize pool breakdown can be found below:
First | $3,000 |
Second | $1,500 |
Third | $900 |
Fourth | $600 |
