Haha for a moment I thought the first place won a 300.000$ prize xD Taiwanese dollars are worth 0,033289 US dollars, so 300.000 TWD is roughly 10.000 US$ for those wondering (like I did )
To clarify, total prize pool is 750,000TWD, which is roughly 25,000 USD. That is a lot of prize pool and judging by the sign up so far it will be an amazing tournament!! You guys should totally tune in to watch BreAKerTV's casting!
Looks like last day for sign up (deadline June 24th 11:59pm Taiwan time/11:59am EDT). People with master or higher account on KR should totally go for it!
Congrats to the top 16 players making it to Stage 2: Jim, sOs, Terminator, Nado, Cure, XY, Reality, Center, Terror, Departure, ByuL, Leenock, iAsonu, 혐갓샘, Pet, TRUE.
Some players only had to play 1 Bo3 due to the massive walkovers from having barcode IDs.
