We are ecstatic to announce the inaugural event of our exciting 2013 Red Bull eSports season: Red Bull Training Grounds #1! The event will commence in Santa Monica, California beginning Friday June 21st and running through Sunday June 23rd and feature a prize pool of $8600.
With this premiere event, we will build upon the successes of our 2012 eSports season and kick off 2013 with a bang. Red Bull Training Grounds has been uniquely designed to offer viewers an unparalleled view into high performance gaming alongside the same great entertaining tournaments they have come to expect from our series.
Eight participating players will scrimmage in a series of round-robin matches over the course of the first two days, giving each player the opportunity to experience one another's signature tactics and evasive rebuttals. At the completion of each match, players head to the analysis booth to discuss and critique their performance, giving the audience at home a bleacher seat to the training regimes and techniques of top players, gaining strategic insight right alongside the pros. All matches in this group-play section are best of three and all three games of each will be played in full. To increase the stakes, the winner of each game in this segment of the tournament will take home an additional $100.
Day three of Red Bull Training Grounds culminates in a tournament consisting of the top four players still standing (two from each group). Reconvening for a final day of competitive play, the winner will walk away with the top prize and an invitation to a future high stakes tournament.
Be sure to follow us for live updates throughout the weekend at @redbullESPORTS.
