What is the playGAMES Series and what games are included?
+ Show Spoiler +The playGAMES Cup Series is a series of single elimination brackets where players earn points for participation, wins and their overall finish in each bracket. Currently, CSN is offering the playGAMES Series for the following 5 games; Heroes of Newerth, StarCraft II, League of Legends, QuakeLive Duel, Call of Duty: Black Ops (xbox360).
After 4 'Points Cups' have been completed, the points are tallied and a select number of players/teams are invited to the Cup Series Finals for additional prizing.
How does the Points System work?
+ Show Spoiler ++3 Points per match played (or by Forfeit)
+2 Points per match won
+1 Points per match won by forfeit
-3 Points per forfeit loss
+12 Bonus Points for Champion
+08 Bonus Points for 2nd place finisher
+04 Bonus Points for 3rd place finisher
+02 Bonus Points for 4th place finisher
How many points do I need to qualify for the Finals Cup?
+ Show Spoiler +The points needed to qualify for the finals will largely depend on the number of different winners (top 4 finishers) and the number of events you or your team compete in. It is possible to compete in only 1 Points Cup, win the cup, earn 35+ points and have enough to qualify for the Finals Cup. This is not guaranteed though. The final points breakdown will determine the Finals Cup Seeding, so it will be important to gain as many points as possible.
