Gfinity Masters viewer's guide

Gfinity Spring Masters 1 is about to start in just a few hours, and we have compiled a viewer's guide in which you can find out everything you need to know before the tournament commences.

Eight teams from Europe and North America will face off this week in the first of four Masters events that Gfinity will be hosting at its brand news eSports arena, built inside the Fulham Broadway multiplex, in London.

The tournament will kick off with a best-of-three double-elimination group stage, with the top two sides from each group advancing to the semi-finals, which will also use a best-of-three format. The grand final will be a best-of-five face-off.


Will Virtus.pro win another Gfinity title? 

The $50,000 prize purse will be spread across the top four in the following way:

1. $25,000
2. $15,000
3. $7,000
4. $3,000 

The casting lineup for the event has a handful of familiar faces, including Scott "SirScoots" Smith, who will be hosting the show, Richard "Gonzo" Lewis and Duncan "Thorin" Shields. The full panel can be found below:

Expecting 6hour delays at MINIMUM, considering this is Gfinity.. WAs watching the hearthstone event a week ago or so, and even that simple game had 5hours delay and shitty production..

Grand Final, BO5 starting at 19:00 + the usual delays. And one of the teams may come directly from a BO3. Some real intense and exhausting gameing there. Unless the third/fourth decider and Grand final is on a separate day, i think BO5 is a little overkill. But its really fun to watch.

How much do these casters get paid for the event? Hopefully that isn't the same BanKs who was around during 1.6, pretty sure he was mentally retarded.
