RGN Pro Series' with $50k

With qualifiers for the RGN Pro Series in Europe drawing to an end, RGN have announced a total of $50,000 up for grabs in both upcoming Pro Series, with the North American edition to occur in June.

The announcement for a $10,000 Pro Series in Europe marked only the beginning of RGN's overall plans for their Pro Series format.

For the European RGN Pro Series, a total of sixteen teams will be involved: seven via invite, four via their placings in the two Intercontinentals, and the final five via the ongoing closed qualifiers.


dignitas are one of the invited teams for the EU Pro Series 

With the qualifiers currently nearing completion, a more updated team list for the EU Pro Series is now available. Some teams such as Orbit, who won the first Intercontinental and have since disbanded, have had their place taken by other teams:

Invited Intercontinentals Qualifier
Denmark dignitas Poland Gamers2 Europe TBA
Norway LGB eSports Bulgaria GPlay Europe TBA
Sweden Property Spain Epsilon Europe TBA
Finland ENCORE Spain x6tence (take Orbit's place) Europe TBA
Germany PENTA Sports   Europe TBA
Denmark CPH Wolves    
Portugal AlienTech.Black  

In addition, a $10,000 North American Pro Series is planned for June, however qualification for this series will be based on an invite basis and via a 24-team upcoming closed qualifier (rather than the RGN Spring Classic currently taking place in North America).

Confirmed teams for the NA Pro Series so far are:

Invited Qualifier
United States Cloud9 North America TBA
United States CLG North America TBA
United States eLevate
United States Luminosity
United States Nihilum  
United States Liquid  
Canada Tempo Storm  
United States Paradox (ex-Fenix)  
Canada SYNRGY
United States vVv  
United States LunatiK
United States mouseSpaz  
United States Tempo Gaming  
Brazil Keyd Stars  

The format of both Pro Series in Europe and North America will be four groups with four teams in each group. Teams will play each other in a round-robin format and the top two teams from each bracket will advance to eight team playoffs.


Skadoodle will don Cloud9's colours for the NA Pro Series

The prize distributions for the $10,000 Pro Series are:

1. - $7,000
2. - $2,000
3. - $1,000 

Finally, it has now been revealed that the top five teams from each region's Pro Series will be invited to take part in a $30,000 RGN Pro Series Championship at a future date.

The Pro Series Championship will be offline and more information such as location, prizepool breakdown and final invites will appear as they are made available. Current qualifier action can be followed at azubu.tv/goRGNtv.

Cuz youre shit... The NA teams are on a similar level like this tournament contenders. Maybe they manage to get one team infromt of one of the europeans at the final standing... And yes dignitas is close to tier 1 if you count titan, navi then count dignitas aswell cuz they are playing super good lately... Just check their results Always those people which have no realism... Sitting in their own world and have igorance only to share

NA is falling day a day for example cloud9 is not good enough with their lineup, promising team kick their best players (clg), their top players are playing in separate random teams and their best lienup was banned for life
