TOURNAMENT WEBSITE — INFORMATION & REGISTRATION


ONE GROUP STAGE. TWO PATHS.

Everyone begins in an initial round-robin group stage. Your results determine where you go next:

CODE S
The top players advance to the main playoffs to compete for the prize pool and the Code S title.

CODE A
The remaining players advance to their own playoffs, competing for a smaller trophy.

An unsuccessful group stage doesn’t end your tournament! We want players at different levels to have something to compete for beyond the opening groups.

Whether you’re chasing the main title or attending your first LAN, come down to Budapest, meet fellow players, and have some fun.

The final group and playoff structure will depend on player numbers. Check the website for format details and updates.

A potential MMR cap of around 5,800 is being considered. Final eligibility details will be published on the website.

Under 18? Please email challenger@wortexgg.hu before registering.


INTERESTED? PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!

Slots are limited, and early registrations help us understand demand and plan the event.

You can register even if you’re not yet certain you can attend. Registration lets us know you’re interested; it does not mean your attendance is confirmed.

WHAT IS WORTEX CHALLENGER SERIES?

Challenger Series is a smaller spin-off from our main WORTEX events, built around an open LAN format that allows more players to participate.

This event has a different structure and scale from our previous WORTEX shows. The focus is on getting people together to play, compete, and enjoy StarCraft II in person — with players from Hungary and beyond.
