We have announced new cups for players participating in the ESEA League. Players compete against others of a similar skill level rather than in an open format. Register for these events here.
Each week, the following prizes shall be awarded:
North America:
- Advanced: $700
- Main: $350
- Intermediate: $200
- Open: $100
Europe:
- Advanced: $700
- Main: $350
- Intermediate: $200
- Open: $100
South Africa
- Main: $200
- Intermediate: $100
- Open: $50
Players do not need to pay the League fee or have League Pass membership specifically to participate in these cups. However, they do need to be on the League team that is registering for that event.
To discourage teams deliberately competing in a division below their level, when a team wins a cup then they will only be able to participate in the division cup above for the following week. For example, if you place first in the Open division Cup then you can check into the Intermediate cup for the following week onward until the end of the season. You will not be able to continue playing in your current division cup for the remainder of the season. However, to be clear, you will not move League divisions as that will remain with the same process as before.
Teams in Advanced can repeatedly compete in their cup as that is the highest division available.
