It is time. Today we proudly announce first details of our upcoming StarCraft 2 cup series. After tons of brainstorming, discussions with ESL and our sponsor, lanforge.ch, we are finally ready to feed you some info.
We, the E-Sport Blog team, have decided to hold the cup series in several parts, similar to the EPS Germany. As the past EPS Germany events have shown, this format was very well accepted by the players. There will be a total of six cups. Each cup is held online on the tournament platform of the ESL and will only be accessible for players from Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
All of the cups will be played during the months of July and August, on Sundays and Wednesdays. The ESL urged us not to hold on to our original plans of having fixed match-days, as effort and gain are not quite as reasonable these days. According to a small survey, the mentioned days seemed to be the ones working out the best for most players.
The format is easily comprehendible: Players can earn points in each cup. The better they perform the more points the receive. Points are awarded to the eight best players of each cup. At the end of the series, the eight players who were able to earn the most points during the cups, are invited to the offline playoffs.
A very important point the E-Sport Blog wanted to achieve: The cup system should hold some fun for every player! Therefore we were able to arrange an ingenious deal with our sponsor lanforge.ch! Every cup participant wins something! How? Simple: For every round of the cup a player reached, a 1% discount is granted at the lanforge.ch store. So even when a player participates in all six cups but drops out in the first round each, a discount of 6% is granted nonetheless! With this we obviously hope to motivate even those players among you, who don’t expect to win this whole thing, to participate in the cup anyways.
The exact dates of the cups, the location of the offline playoffs, the caster who will be casting the event, and especially the prizes worth 2’000,- CHF, will be announced the coming days and weeks. And of course, on the E-Sport Blog we’ll provide you with our homemade, huge coverage of the cup-series. Stay tuned for the coming announcements, and let us look forward to a thrilling Starcraft Series Switzerland, short S³.

| I guess with her Swiss roots, Soe would actually qualify for participation in the series! How about giving your Progaming career another shot? |
