The full rules in OP is for RBBG North America, so I think the eligibility is quite different for Global

all matches are played on NA server or will it depend on the players?

finals format will be the same than NA ?

Added link, and yes Detroit should be the same format as Atlanta. This cup is just the winner getting a full expense paid trip to Detroit Battle Grounds. There is the standard 2nd 3rd and 4th place cash prize, but no trip.

The Redbull Global Qualifier dates have been published! They are now the 24th, 27th, and 31st (IEM qualifiers on the 31st will be moved).
Please note this is open to everyone in the world except for Quebec once again (sorry guys). You can be from Quebec you just can't play the tournament from Quebec. (Weird prize laws etc)

Keep in mind you must currently be diamond or higher to play!

Not sure how I feel about the 18 year old restriction.

That means that if Life wanted to play he couldn't T__T

That's no fun

I think the problem is the Koreans can't actually break into Diamond, the NA ladder is just too brutal.

Thought it would be implied since you have to register with the AM version of your account on the ESL system.
