The DSCL Open is back in 2015! It is the flagship among the tournaments hosted by the Dutch StarCraft League. And it is exactly what you'd expect it to be: OPEN! 16 players have qualified for the final stages of our event. The top 8 will be playing the offline event in the Melkweg on June 20th and 21st. Join us in the heart of Amsterdam to see 8 of the best European StarCraft-players engage in an e-sports battle that will jolt your mind!
Those qualified will play an online group stage at the beginning of June (3rd, 6th, 10th and 13th), after which the top-8 will be invited to the Finals Event in the capital of Holland, Amsterdam! None of these dates (online groups and finals-event) conflict with WCS.
Of course EVERYTHING, including the top 16 - online group stages, will be streamed on Twitch.tv/DSCLeague. We hope you will all tune in and cheer for your favorite players! If you want to help e-sports grow in the Netherlands, tell your friends about the broadcasts too - we promise we'll make them fun and informative.
But wait! You can also join the offline event and meet the players! Tickets are available through our website only, to buy them click here. We have weekend tickets, single-day tickets and even VIP tickets available. Remember to sign up for the event on Facebook as well, and invite your friends!
For this year’s prize pool we’ve set up a Kickstarter campaign! The total amount the backers brought together is €1619.95, which will be divided over the players in the following ratio:
1st place: €647.98
2nd place: €323.99
3rd/4th place: €188.99
5th/6th place: €81
7th/8th place: €54
