The $7,000 WardiTV Korean Royale Season 3 is here! The succesful crowdfunding from last year has allowed us to run one final season of this event with a reduced prize pool from the previous two seasons.
If you would like to support the prize pool of the Korean Royale, please contact Wardi on Twitch/Discord/Emails.
Any funds we raise during Season 3 will go toward the Season 3 prize pool.

Prize Pool
Group Stage Matches are worth $20 per BO3 win, totally $1,120 of the prize money. With the way the players are seeded by group standings, this is essentially a scaling prize pool bump to each playoff position, but allows for us to have every round robin match be meaningful even if certain players become eliminated.
1st - $2,000
2nd - $1,000
3rd/4th - $500
5th/6th - $350
7th/8th - $250
