The eight invited players are laid out on a single elimination bracket to determine who will grab a slice of the 10 000 $ prize purse next weekend at the ASUS ROG Stars Invite tournament sponsored by NVIDIA . In addition, the schedule and prize money distribution are announced.
ASUS ROG Stars Invite kicks off the coming Friday. The tournament includes eight invited, top tier players from Europe and North America who we have announced during the last couple of weeks. We’re really happy about all the positive reactions this community has shown towards our event. Now it’s time to reveal some more details about the tournament.
Bracket
Many of you might be pleased to find IdrA and HuK on the opposite sides of the bracket which means a possible Evil Geniuses finals. You might also note that the way the races have been laid out gives a chance for mirror finals, a chance you might be happy or scared of.
Prizes
1. 6000 $
2. 3000 $
3. 1000 $

- Sunday specials!
Sunday specials? Oh yes, we’re extending the fun to Sunday making it a three day event! Since the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre, where the tournament is located, is open to public on Sunday too, there’s no point missing the opportunity to display some great Starcraft 2 action for the audience the whole weekend long. We will be announcing more info about the Sunday specials soon, but for now we can say that the ancient Finland vs Sweden rivalry will continue with a match between elfi and SjoW!
Stay tuned, folks.
