PiGFEST 3.0 IS HERE!

The lineup for PiGFest 3.0 is STACKED! With the sad news of Blizzard no longer funding StarCraft 2 esports, we decided to host PiGFest much earlier than usual this year. Thank you to everyone in the community who has already donated to the prize pool - the generosity has pushed the prize pool to $10,000!

SUPPORT THE TOURNAMENT!

100% of donations to https://streamlabs.com/x5_pig/tip go to the prize pool for PiGFest tournaments. This will be left open until the end of the tournament. PiG is putting up $1,000 himself. The community has already raised $5,000! over $12,000!

Edit:
The prize pool has been capped at $10,000(!) to ensure this tournament is not overfunded and all donations over that amount are going directly to PiGFest 4.0 which will be around July-October! We seriously did not think we'd get this level of donations!




PRO TOURNAMENT DETAILS

Format: Single elimination bracket held over 5 days. Ro16 and Ro8 will be best of 5. Ro4 and Grand Final will be best of 7.

Schedule: March 15-19 2023, starting at 10am CEST / 8pm AEDT each day. The first four days will each have two ro16 matches, with the winners facing each other in the ro8 on the same day - making it like a mini 4-player tournament to see who goes through to the Semifinals.

[image loading]

Prize Pool:
    1st = $3500
    2nd = $1700
    3rd/4th = $800
    5th-8th = $400
    9th-16th = $200
    Total = $10,000USD


Stream Details:

PiGFest will be streamed on www.twitch.tv/x5_PiG in English.
All non-english casters are welcome to cast this tournament. Contact PiG on Discord or Twitter for more details.

CARNIVAL EVENT DETAILS

The support act to our huge pro tournament will be a Hidden Name Tournament where 4 players will hide their identities while trying to unmask their opponents.

Schedule: March 9 2023 starting at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 8pm CEST (March 10 6am AEDT)

I disagree, an online tournament like this best keep it super simple. I'm very excited that the ro4 are bo7's and the ro16 bo5's. Should give us some incredible series!

Same thing for everybody from the EU region, so I don't see this as a big issue. The only timezone problem would happen if a player based from the Americas had been invited (Vindicta, Neeb, etc)
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

Very exciting, and I am happy about the format! I like the big group stages but it is nice to have some that are just single elimination, and the fact that ro16/ro8 are best of 5 means we'll be getting some deep dives into each match!

prize pool split vs total makes no sense
split sums up to 6k
while it says total is 5k

which is correct?

Hopefully the percentages increase evenly, and the tournament gains more money. With first place taking 40% of total pool.

Thanks PiG for stepping up, I hope others are inspired to do so. Donating or running your own small tournament is a good thing to do

Update: Donations are almost at $13k!

When we came up with the format we thought the prize pool would get to maybe $5k or so like previous PiGFests. NEVER did we think it would get this high. Unbelievably we had a $5k donation from Crate Entertainment (who made Grim Dawn) as they wanted to see SC2 esports continue to flourish! They didn't even ask for anything in return like promotions for their games, but feel free to give them some love https://twitter.com/CrateEnt

There isn't enough time to rejig the tournament format so we are capping the prize pool for PiGFest 3.0 at $10k AND all dollars over that amount will go to PiGFest 4.0 which will be held between July to October. This means PiGFest 3.0 will still have a pretty damn amazing prize pool AND players will have more tournaments to play for this year. We plan on doing qualifiers next time in addition to direct invites.

P.S. Can someone pls ensure my maths is correct this time
