2020-21 ESL Pro Tour: Open Cups


Week six of the ESL Open saw all three server cups won by first time winners.

(Wiki)Zoun triumphed over a mostly international field of competitors in the Korean server cup (3-1 vs TIME in the finals), continuing his quietly run of strong online performances during the pre-season. A rotation player player for SKT until 2016, Zoun returned to competitive StarCraft II in 2019 after a lengthy hiatus.

(Wiki)Armani, another ex-KeSPA pro returning from a break (due to military service in this case), won the American server cup with a 3-1 victory over Denver in the finals. Finally, German stalwart (Wiki)ShoWTimE won the European server cup, sweeping Lambo in the finals.

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 #7 of ESL Open Cups is set to take place on February 23rd, though participation is likely to be heavily affected by players travelling to IEM Katowice (Feb 24 start).

Yay for Zoun!
Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

Well as Solar says in his interview the Cups aren't that appealing (yet?). The top Koreans aren't worried about getting these small amounts of points.

What about the rest of the Koreans? They have given up already?

Apollo rolls a pair of dice on how many Koreans he allows to play in the Korean cup every week. Got a low roll this time.

lol, that would actually be pretty cool. Apollo, the Godfather of ESL Open, in a pinstriped suit and a bit chubby now and speaking like Marlon Brando, generously allowing 5 Koreans to participate in the next cup.

Also this week had the lowest number of top Korean players so far, probably because Katowice is coming up
