TSL6 - Invitees, Prize Pool, EPT Points

Text byJulmust

TSL6 Logo

We’re getting ever closer to December and we’re working at a feverish pace behind the scenes to make sure that TSL6 is as great as it can possibly be. And there’s some key information we still haven’t shared with the community, namely the number of EPT points we’ve been allotted, what the final prize pool will be, and who we’ve chosen to invite to this event.

Invitees
Other than increasing the amount of invites for TSL6, we didn’t change much in terms of the process of inviting players. We, of course, had a chat with ESL about how to do it in a fair way as we definitely don’t want it to seem like we’re playing favorites here. Together we agreed that the best way to invite players was to do what we did last year: use EPT points and a 50/50 split between Korea and the rest of the world. Since we needed to get the invites out the door in time, in case anyone declined, we pulled the EPT points given out from finished tournaments on the 2nd of November and used that as a basis. And we’re elated to announce that these will be the invited players for TSL6:

Korean invitees
RogueTYMaruZest

Non-Korean invitees
ReynorSerralClemSpeCial

Prize pool
TSL5 was one of the biggest 3rd party events of 2020. That also means that we had to match the prize pool for TSL6. So we talked to our wonderful partners for the event, and they agreed. That’s why we’re happy to announce that we’ve secured $30,000, again, for the TSL6 prize pool. And for those of you wondering about how that breaks down, here’s a summary:

Prize Pool
1st$6,000
2nd$4,000
3rd$3,000
4th$2,000
5th - 6th$1,500
7th - 8th$1,200
9th - 12th$900
13th - 16th$600
17th - 32nd$225

Those with a keen eye will have noticed that the percentages, compared to TSL5, are a bit lower for the top tier and higher for the mid to low finishers. That’s simply because we want to spread the love a bit more evenly. We still think the winner will be very happy with his, or her, share.

EPT Points
Getting EPT points for TSL6 is, to us, as important as securing a big prize pool. We want to be a major event on the StarCraft 2 calendar and without EPT points that’s not going to happen. We had a chat with ESL and they were happy to hand out some points to our players. It’s not free points, though. Players will still have to survive the first round of the tournament if they want a gift from ESL under the tree. Here’s a breakdown of the point allotment for TSL6.

EPT Point Distribution
1st250
2nd180
3rd140
4th110
5th - 6th85
7th - 8th65
9th - 12th45
13th - 16th25
17th - 32nd0

The info about the qualifiers for TSL6 has been posted in it's own thread. You can find that thread here.

The list of invited players is amazing as usual. Though I would have preferred if you had gone by GSL S3 / DH Winter Results instead of the overall Standings.

Stats and Armani have been delivering great games in Korea and it would have been great to see those results be rewarded with a seed. But overall it's of course still a fair way to distribute the seeds and I wish all players best of luck!

Using EPT points for invites is very strange given how each region has their own events and amounts of points allocated. In a system like that, is the amount of points that Special has relative to Astrea/Heromarine/TIME at all meaningful? Not really.

Not a fan that TSL and Asus ROG are both using it for invites.

Special has more points than heromarine, another advantage of him playing Latam and qualifying for the season finals over and over again. Hoopefully next year it goes back to normal

Zest invited by EPT points? Since he's #7 instead of #4, I guess that means Inno, Stats, and Trap all declined their invites?

ESL forces that mode for the events to get EPT pts

TL's hidden agenda is to make TY stop streaming BW, confirmed.

All jokes aside, happy for TL and wish everyone best of luck in this tour.

Awesome line up besides Special who is almost certainly going to be annihilated.

Special is a great SC2 player, but Rogue, Serral, Zest? Lol talk about some high level competition

Big thanks to the sponsors as well, thanks for making this happen.

Interesting that TY accepted TSL but declined Asus ROG.
Both have the same 1st place price, but Asus is way WAY more top heavy. That either means, he isn t very confident or that he has some non sc2 commitments for Asus Rog.
Also I absolutly hatte step price Pool distributions, especially when people, Who qualified for the tournament Don t get paid, so good Job TL this looks realy realy good

ASUS ROG partially overlaps with the BW tournament TY has been practicing for (date wise anyway I'm not 100% sure time wise), TSL doesn't.

I can't say why but I think it won't happen.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Hmm... but all three are playing in the qualifiers?

(And for some reason, Inno forfeited after going down 0-1 vs Creator in Qualifier 1 and not playing in Qualifier 2 - so he's out entirely?)
