fragbite has announced that its next Masters season will give away 600,000 SEK (~$70,000)

Just three months after the end of fragbite Masters Season 4, which saw Team SoloMid scoop the big prize of nearly $27,000 after beating fnatic in the final, the Swedish company has unveiled the first details about the newest iteration of the tournament, which will run from September 5 to December 6.

A sixth of the season's prize pool will go towards the fragbite Masters Champions Showdown, which will see TSM and fnatic go head-to-head on Saturday, in Stockholm, in a best-of-five clash.

TSM are the reigning fragbite Masters champions

Sixteen teams will compete in fragbite Masters 5, which, unlike the previous seasons, will not feature a group stage. Instead, the teams will be placed in a best-of-three, single-elimination bracket to determine which three sides will join the winner of Saturday's Champions Showdown at the season finals, in December.

Half of the 16 teams will be directly invited by fragbite, while the remaining half will come from online qualifiers, which will run from September 7-30.

Below you can find the full schedule for fragbite Masters 5:

Qualifiers: September 7-30
Online season: October 5-November 5
Offline finals: December 4-6

fragbite Masters 5 prize distribution:

1. 225,000 SEK (~$26,500)

Nothing wrong with eating burgers as long as you exercise and stay fit. It's just calories, mate. Nothing magical about burgers that make you super fat.

There are some kind of fat (trans fat) that can not be eliminate of your organism. And foods like burgers usually clog the heart's veins and you can't eliminate the fat inside your vein without a surgical procedure, exercises wont solve it.

but burgers doesn't really have much that fat only the beef and the french fries are fried in oil made of plants (it wont get stuck in your veins)

Single elimination 16 teams .. Almost 1 month for that? And damn, important to get a good seeding
