The Open Division series has been taking place since January, with Cup events for Europe and the US taking place on alternate weeks. It represents an opportunity for amateur teams and aspiring players to start their path towards professional eSports career, without requiring them to risk anything.
All teams that register for the final Cup 7 kicking off on May 1st will play in the 5v5 format and will battle it out for their share of the $1,000 prize pool. More importantly, however, 16 teams that earn the most points over all seven Cup events will be pitched against each other. Two teams that survive this elimination bracket will get a chance to face a professional HGC team for a best-of-seven match.
Winning the Crucible is what amateur teams will all be after, as this will ensure their place in the next HGC, granting them the place in the professional league. While clearly a big challenge, the Open Division is an excellent way for aspiring teams to get their shot, so make sure not to miss the registration deadline if you'd like your chance to compete in the upcoming HGC.
