Esports bookmaker Pinnacle’s first winter series has begun. Series commenced today on January 17th, 2022 and will end on February 2nd, 2022 with a prize pool of $84,000.
It will be a three stage tournament: 8 teams of Regional Swiss Stage will proceed to Main Swiss Stage and top 8 teams will proceed to Playoffs with a single elimination bracket.
Winner of the tournament will receive $40,000 in addition to a seed in the LAN Sweet LAN tournament.
All stages will be played in Swiss format and the winners will be determined by best of three rules (Bo3).
The Swiss-system tournament is different from the round-robin tournament. It requires a proper seeding and preparation beforehand and it’s feasible for tournaments which have too many competitors (there will be teams especially invited to compete in this tournament).
High seed invite teams for the Main Swiss Stage:
| High Seed Invites |
|---|
| 1win |
| Team BLINK |
| Dignitas |
| Eternal Fire |
| K23 |
| MOUZ NXT |
| SKADE |
| Sprout |
Round 1 of the Regional Swiss Stage is currently underway. Tricked Esport versus One Tap Gaming resulted in a win for Tricked and Esports Club Kyiv scored a victory against Team Finest.
We think that more firmly established tournaments for the CSGO scene are always revitalizing for esports and we are looking forward to who will qualify for the upcoming LAN event. Perhaps we’ll see some rising stars among the competitors too.
Don't you think we are in for a great event? Do not miss the tournaments, stay tuned for news. Follow the matches and place bets on Luckbox.
