Rongyi Cup
The Chinese scene has announced another major-tier event, with RongYi Cup Season 3 putting up ¥150,000 CNY (~$21,000 USD) in prize money for top competitors. The tournament will take place from January 22- February 7 in a hybrid online/offline format, with the finals being played offline.
Classic, herO, Zoun, ByuN, Clem, Maru, SHIN, and Solar are the eight initial invitees, with eight additional slots being decided by open qualifiers. Qualifiers will be held during January 11-13.

are there any chinese players left who are actively competing in sc2? i miss iA
|
What about Serral, did he reject the invite or did not receive one?
|
I hope Serral has to and will be playing the Qualifier
|
Another great tournament coming up with good prize pool
The invites were mainly focused on the Korean scene to help them out.

I'd guess the offline finals component made him decline? He's played most of the all-online CN tournaments with $10k+ prize money.

Considering that Serral is playing in the All-star event in China next weekend, then if he decide to play in HSC, it could be too much of a turnaround to come back to China for this in early Feb (assuming he made the Final Stage).

Very cool that China is organizing more and more events!! The scene is looking healthier than last year this time around imo!

Groups are out. 11:00 GMT (+00:00) starts during Jan 22-25 for the group stage.
|
HerO has no time to rest since he's playing in OSC vs Clem in 3 hours and looks like his Rongyi match with Rogue is coming right after.
|
I think some OSC matches, if not most of them, are cast from replay. I wont be surprised if herO and Clem already played earlier.
