Perfect World announces Asia Summer RMR details

Perfect World has announced the first details about the Asian Regional Major Ranking (RMR) competition that it will host this summer.

The tournament, called Perfect World Asia League (PAL) Summer, will have $100,000 on the line and will feature ten teams, eight of whom were invited after competing in the previous RMR tournament, hosted by ESL.

The last two teams will be determined by a qualifying process for teams from China and for the rest of Asia, with registration already available through the tournament's official website.

The Perfect World Asia League Summer, which will run from June 24 through July 19, will see the ten teams face each other in a best-of-three round-robin stage. The top eight sides will then progress to a single-elimination, best-of-three playoff bracket.

The following teams will take part in PAL Summer:

4. $12,000 + 1625 RMR points
