2020-21 ESL Pro Tour: Open Cups


Week three of the ESL Open Cups kicked off with a surprise winner, as (Wiki)TRUE triumphed over a thin pool competitors on the Korean server—presumably due to the Lunar New Year holiday. TRUE defeated Astrea in the finals, with the American Protoss making his second consecutive runner-up finish in the Korean server cup.

The European server cup saw HeroMarine dethroned after he won the first two tournaments, with the German Terran narrowly losing 2-3 to (Wiki)Clem in the finals. Finally, (Wiki)Scarlett was victorious in the American server cup, defeating PartinG 3-2 in the finals for her second cup victory of the 2020-21 season.

ESL Open Cup winners earn $100 in prize money and 10 ESL Pro Tour points. Players who finish second earn 5 ESL Pro Tour points. Week #4 of ESL Open Cups is set to take place on February 2nd.

Way to go Clem!! Love to see that.

And True and Scarlett,

Honorable mentions to Astrea and HeroMarine for picking up points as well.

That I can understand. The trend is not so encouraging however, with 8 Koreans in Ro16 week 1 and 6 koreans in the Ro16 week 2. Let's see next week if the Koreans want to defend their server against the invaders.

I wonder why Neeb or any of the other big European (mostly zergs) names are not playing in these cups (I know Die Mauer and Big Gabe are in it, don't @ me)
Faker is the GOAT!

They do but it's not nearly as serious as Seollal and Chuseok. Seoul almost completely empties out during those holidays. You go from walking shoulder to shoulder one day to seeing a hand full of people every hour. Shops even turn off music so it's even more eerie.

Can we all agree that protoss is seriously UP right now? How much more obvious does it need to be?

Needs to be more than obvious. Needs to be undeniable beyond shadow of doubt for people to notice. Since there's a dumb stigma against Protoss.

Unless I missed something obvious, all protoss participating in the 3 cups lost against better opposition with maybe the exception of Showtime vs Clem who eventually won the cup, so is that even an upset?
