Hello everyone, Happy new year !
As we still wait for news about the ESL Circuit for 2025, I couldn't help but miss those monday nights of Starcraft the community had every weeks. Thanks to the help of a few very generous donors from the french audience and my good friends Rotterdam, SteadFast, Indy, DerBovo and FunKa, i have been able to secure the funding to run a weekly cup on monday, replacing ESL Open Cup Europe/KSR Cup for the next 8 weeks
The Monday Night Weeklies, beyond the first 8 editions have all been crowdfunded and will be held as long as we are able to secure funding to pay the cashprize of the players. Support the event here : https://ko-fi.com/mondaynightweekly
Cups will be held on the EU server at 6 PM CET. Open to American and Asian participants
Special thank to the french viewers for donating most of the prize pool, even if they did wish to remain anonymous
Schedule
Monday Nights Weeklies #17 - Monday, may 19 6:00pm CET
Prize Pool
1st - $200
2nd - $100
3rd - $60
4th - $40
Bonus $25 for the highest placing zerg, if there is no clear highest placing zerg (multiple zerg eliminated at the same round) money from one edition will be added to the next edition
Registration for the 3rd cup : https://challonge.com/MNWeekly17
Live : Casting is open to all previously approved ESL Open Cups casters ! IF you weren't previously approved, contact me to confirm

Small update !
Rotterdam generously offered a 25$ bonus for the highest placing zerg. As those online cups don't seem to attract quite as many zergs as they do terrans and protosses, we want to encourage more zerg to come and play those events.
Also, we added a lower bracket, Bo1 :
Loser bracker : Bo1, maps don't change : First round [HypONE] [1v1] sugomA, 2nd round Hellscape (2.0), 3rd [TLMC17] Erreholm, 4th Ley Lines, 5th FrostLines LE, 6th Eldorado , 7th Whispers of Gold, 8th Amygdala, 9th Ultralove, if there are more rounds, map picks resume at the 1st map and follows the same order. If the player coming from the Lower bracket wins the finals in Bo5, they play it all in a Bo1 bracket reset !

Hello everyone ! As the 6th edition of Monday Night Weekly is about to start, we are glad to announce that you can now support the futur editions of MNW !
As said in the first post of this thread, the first 8 edition are fully funded, but as we still wait to hear from ESL, we wanted to be able to support more editions and cannot expected a few very generous donors to finance most of the cash prize. To this end, we have opened a page on the donation platform Ko-fi. Every single dollar will go toward funding futures editions. We're already halfway through the 9th edition's funding, thanks to everyone that already contributed and thanks in advance to everyone who will, every little bit helps !

Hello Everyone !
I am happy to announce, we raised enough money through the community for editions 9 and 10 of Monday Night Weekly ! As we still await for news from ESL for a circuit, we would love to keep up this event and keep on making it evolve (TLMC has been going on lately, maybe more crazy maps for our entertainment ??!).
Please consider supporting it, every little bit helps and every single dollars goes to the cash prize for the players. Thanks to all donors and viewers of Monday Night Weekly and to the line up of casters : Rotterdam, Steadfast, Derbovo, Indy and FunKa aswell as all the other community streams !
See you guys on Monday ! o7

You should add this link to the first post, and maybe consider adding it to the Challonge pages as well.
I didn't even realise there was a crowdfunding element to this until it almost didn't run last week!

You're right ! I edited the first post. Unfortunatly, this week (12th of May), the event did end up not being funded. So MNW 17 is postponed to Monday 19 of may (as some monthly payements on the Ko-Fi platform should complete the cash prize in time for next week)
