GosuGamers.net is proud to announce the return of our StarCraft 2 GosuCup series sponsored by Razer. It was only seven months ago that Liquid.HuK defeated Mill.Adelscott to be crowned GosuCup Champion. HuK and Adelscott have received invites along with the other two top four finishers, aTnSocke and GGLastShadow.
The event will feature six 512 player open registration StarCraft 2 tournaments where the winner and runner-up of each tournament will advance to a group stage with last season's top four finishers. The top two from each group will then advance to a final bracket stage where they will play for a €1,500 prize pool.
Qualifications and seeds
The first qualifier will be hosted on April 17, 15:00 CET on the European server and anyone with a EU Battle.Net account can enter. Check-in time will be 30 minutes before the start of the tournament. Detailed rules and map pool will be presented when the registration opens.
Each qualifier will alternate between the European and the US servers.
We will be seeding four players into the group stage. Last season's champion Chris "TLAF-Liqiud`HuK" Loranger (#35), runner-up Benoît "Mill.Adelscott" Strypsteen (#26), Giacomo "aTnSocke" Thüs (#27) and Nick "GGLastShadow" De Cesare (#735) will all hold one spot each in the group stage.
Schedule and streams
The first weeks of the Razer StarCraft 2 GosuCup will have six qualifiers, one each Sunday, alternating between 15:00 CET and 15:00 EST depending on the server.
On May 28, we will be going into the Round of 16 with all the qualifiers and seeded players in a group stage of four.
The playoffs will begin on June 11, where the best two players from each group will go at it in a single elimination bracket.
We will begin the broadcast for all the matches from the group stage and onwards, which will be running through late June. Matches will be broadcasted through replay casting due to schedule, lag and time zone issues.
Qualifier tournaments will be streamed live, with semi finals and grand finals released as VODs.
