Thunderdog eSports is proud to announce the opening of StarCraft 2 season 4 of Top Dog League [NA]! For full details about the league click here.
This season we have had a few major changes. There is now a $300 guaranteed prize pool for Top Dog! However, due to this there is now an entry fee to play as well. The entry fee will be $25 per team wishing to participate. The prize pool will get larger based on the number of teams that join and viewers and fans can donate any set amount to the community funded prize pool here! (Thunderdog does NOT take a cut from the donated prize pool.)
