RGN Pro Series' with $50k

6-5-2015 23:00

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
dignitas	Gamers2	TBA
LGB eSports	GPlay	TBA
Property	Epsilon	TBA
ENCORE	x6tence (take Orbit's place)	TBA
PENTA Sports		TBA
CPH Wolves
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
Cloud9	TBA
CLG	TBA
eLevate
Luminosity
Nihilum
Liquid
Tempo Storm
Paradox (ex-Fenix)
SYNRGY
vVv
LunatiK
mouseSpaz
Tempo Gaming
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.

2015-05-07 07:02

You are just a mongo this is actually supercool... NA teams can finally mess with european teams at the offline event! And dignitas is very strong lately i dont know how you could call them tier 3... They are between 1-2

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

Azubu..ugh can everyone just stick with Twitch. I just don't get the same feeling/a good feeling on any other streaming platform. :(

Probably a big chunk of the prize money comes from azubu

2015-05-06 23:07

I know because they want to push it but I just don't see it happening that any streaming platform will overtake Twitch.

2015-05-06 23:12

Well, I don't care as long as the money used to get exposure helps CSGO

2015-05-06 23:40

Dies azubu even have a mobile version? ._.

2015-05-07 11:32

KeyD Starts and TEAM uhulez? whyyyy

2015-05-06 23:09

"The announcement for a $10,000 Pro Series in Europe earlier this month" It was annouced on 13th of April, we have 6th of May now, so you can't say 'earlier this month'

2015-05-06 23:10

go encore!

What the ...? That invited teams are pure crap, only dignitas and partially LGB look decent.

it's good for tier2 teams to win some money too not only fnatic, nip, envy, tsm and vp. they got the major to look forward to

Teams are very busy, not all of them are able to find time to participate.

2015-05-06 23:18

ez win LGB

Very nice indeed.

2015-05-06 23:21

gl encore, ez win

2015-05-06 23:22

Can someone explain me what interontinentals should mean ?I read the whole article but i aint getting it.

2015-05-06 23:24

Finally I can see some EU tier2 teams wreck c9

2015-05-06 23:33

tier 2 eu and tier 1 na xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2015-05-06 23:39

it actually makes logical sense since EU is really oversaturated right now in terms of tournies whereas NA is only starting to sprout forth

2015-05-06 23:54

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

2015-05-07 00:08

ok....but you just switched from contrasting two regions to giving me an opinion *shrug emoticon*

2015-05-07 00:53

ez for SKAAA

2015-05-06 23:43

NA finally have chance get out of groups?

2015-05-06 23:56

Even though it might be the only chance for Na to win sth dignitas will take it. :D

2015-05-06 23:57

RGN got their name from my project, which was called PGN Premier Gaming Network Reliable Gaming Network they also used the same original website software lol
