Event Details – What we know so far

As stated on the liquipedia page of the event, The main event of the 5th season of the EDC will take place between the 18th of August, and the 5th of September. The 16 teams will be fighting for the huge $30,000 prize pool, which is split as follows:

  • 2nd – $7,500
  • 3rd – $2,500
  • 4th – $2,500

The format of the event follows a similar format that was used in the previous season of the EDC. Meaning that all teams are split into 4 groups of 4, and the top 2 teams advance to the playoffs. Then in the playoffs, a single-elimination bracket is played out, and all matches are a best of 3. The winner of the grand finals will be crowned as champions, grabbing a lion’s share of the prize pool.
