Games Clash Masters 2019 rescheduled due to StarLadder Major overlap

Games Clash Masters 2019 has been rescheduled to take place September 20-22 in light of its coincidence with the StarLadder Major 2019.

The organisers revealed the original dates in February, prior to the announcement of the StarLadder Major 2019, which coincided with the $100,000 event, running from August 20 - September 8. As a result of this overlap, the organisers subsequently made the decision to reschedule the event to the weekend of September 20-22.

Jakub Janaszek, a representative of Games Clash Entertainment, issued the following statement, explaining the decision in further detail:

"As the organizer of an international esport event, we never want to interfere with other important tournaments taking place on the international scene. Due to many CS: GO matches in the world and the specifics of work by the organization of such games, choosing a "free" date in advance is very risky. As it turned out in August, when the Games Clash Masters finals in Gdynia were supposed to take place, unexpectedly Major Berlin 2019 was announced. At the request of our players and supporters, as the organizer of the Games Clash Masters finals we managed to change the date of our event. The grand finale tournament will take place at the end of September 2019."

Games Clash Masters 2019 will offer $100,000 in prize money, taking place in Gdynia, Poland at the Gdynia Arena. A total of eight participants will be seen at the event, of which currently none are known. Six of the aforementioned sides will receive a direct invite, meanwhile two teams will be admitted via a qualifier and the Meet Point 2019 tournament, the victor of which will receive a direct invite to the tournament in Gdynia.
