My god. What an unbelievable prize pool! First place got nearly $6700 while second place got $4300 while third place got $2100 and even the fourth place received over $900!!! Can’t express enough gratitude to Rus_Brain for seeding half the prize money and viewers/fans for matching him, and all that was made possible by the wonderful organizers (BSL et al.). The BW foreign community is very lucky indeed!

Thanks for an amazing tournament! Thanks to the players for the great games, Zzero for the production, and of course, Rus_brain for the tournament itself! I have to say, I really enjoyed the English cast as well, props to all three casters!

I was honestly surprised by Dandy's games. That style was very refreshing, especially in TvP. Good games against Bonyth and Dewalt.

I also didn't expect this to get so big. Thanks for the organisation and having another big offline event aside from ASL is definitely something to look forward to. Casters were really enjoyable as well. Please don't hire Artosis and Tasteless for the offline event next year. I enjoy the two but I also like to give other people a chance and imho all three casters here did a good job so I don't see why you would replace them.

Dewalt also said he would try to go to Korea. Not sure how well that would go. I know the top foreigners can take games off of Koreans atm. but that's online. Looking at the ASL games, there is still quite a gap. At least between ASL Ro8 (maybe even Ro16) and top foreigners. Not as pronounced as it used to be but still very noticable. That being said, I would still encourage anyone who wants to try to do so if it is feasible. It's going to be an awesome experience regardless of the outcome.

Big thanks for RCG2020 for all who is creating, supporting, competing and casting! That was really fun.

I have a strong feeling that RCG2021 will be more epic and a lot more skillful and playerful.

Beyond the game!
The Russian Cyber Games!

Huge thx Rus_Brain, eSport_fund, ZZZero and all the other staffmembers for an amazing event!

Truly great, and I also want to give props to Doc_H, Seriosity and Ziggy for some great casting these two weekends, amazing job! <3

Looking forward to RCG2021, and I hope it can be arranged offline and that I can attend once again.

Big ups! <3

Some post-production content for you guys.

ZZZero and me have prepared two ending videos: A good ending that you have seen after the $15k hit, and A bad ending which we would have launched if $15k not hit. And now we can reveal both

GOOD ENDING
+ Show Spoiler +

Wisely done, guys!
www.rcg2021.ru converted into "RCG 2021 confirmed"

BAD ENDING
+ Show Spoiler +

No regrets!
www.rcg2021.ru would have been converted into "Project discontinued":

It is worth to mention, casters did not know what the "source video production" will bring them (and you saw their reaction clearly when our Rusland drunk celebration was connected).

So cute and prudent, to have two endings. Everyone is glad it turned out the way it did but had it not - no regret, indeed. The tourney was amazing.
