The Nordic StarCraft II League, NorCraft Cup, announces the Season 2 Finals online event where the top 16 players from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland fight for the €3000 prize pool on November 21-22.
Just over two weeks ago, the last regional qualifier has been completed. With a total of 130 players we managed to narrow it down to 16 players, 4 from each country, who will battle it out against each other to leave one man standing that we can crown King of the North of 2014!
