elevengaming vs. The World
A showmatch series
Overview
North American eSports organization elevengaming, in partnership with Bigfoot Networks, are happy to announce a new showmatch series. With showmatches getting more and more popular within the community, we're excited to bring a new, fresh perspective to showcase top north american Starcraft II talent. Over the next ten to fourteen weeks, elevengaming will take on challengers from across the continent, with one of the largest cash and product prize pools available for a showmatch series in North America.
Format
Each week, a member of elevengaming's Starcraft II team (henceforth referred to as "the player") will begin a series of BO5 matches against various applied and invited "challengers" from current and former top 200 (Grandmaster) players. If a challenger beats the "player," the challenger will immediately take the prize pool - a minimum of $100 in prizes and cash. If the "player" wins the BO5 match, a few things will happen: First, the prize pool will raise an additional $20 in cash for each series won. The same player will also continue onto another BO5 match during the next scheduled cast. This cycle will continue until the player is either defeated, OR wins four BO5 series without losing. If the player is able to win four matches without a loss, they will be crowned winner, and take the prize pool they have built throughout the week. Whether the player manages to win four sets, or loses the first one, the following week, a new "player" from elevengaming will step up and start the process over. We will continue this showmatch series until all members of the team have been defeated, or been crowned winner.
Prize Pool
-9x Bigfoot Networks Killer2100 Gaming Network Cards
-Up to $1000 in Cash
Every new player will start with a winnable prize pool of one "Killer2100" BigFootNetworks Gaming Network Card ($80 value), and $20 in cash. With each BO5 match won by the player, $20 cash will be added to the prize pool. If any challenger wins a BO5 series, they will take the accrued prize pool immediately, with a new player beginning the following week. The prize pool for these showmatches can range from the starting gaming card+$20 to a fourth week player finale of the Killer2100 card+$80!
The Challengers
It's an open challenge! Parties interested in participating can apply to be a challenger for this event by filling out the form (link below). Please note that we are only looking for very high masters/grandmaster level players who are currently, or have in the recent past, been in the top 200. If you are not grandmaster level, but feel that you would be an exceptional choice, you may apply and state your case. You must also play primarily on the NA server, and be available to play evenings on eastern standard time. Challengers will be eligible to play in this series one time, regardless of whether they win or lose, and are not able to choose which player they face. Please only apply once, we will not lose your application. If you fill out the form completely, meet the qualifications listed above, and we feel that you would be a good addition to the showmatch, we will get in touch with you.
