China to host $300,000 FunSpark ULTI

15-7-2020 12:00

The event will feature eight top sides and will offer qualifiers for teams from three different regions.

CGA and 5EPlay have announced the first details about their next event, called FunSpark ULTI, which will have a $300,000 prize pool. This represents the most ambitious project yet for CGA, which has organized events like the China Cup and the NEST Pro Series in the past.

The tournament is currently scheduled for December 1-6, but it is likely it will be postponed until 2021 after the Chinese General Administration of Sports announced last week that the country will not stage any sports events for the rest of the year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

FURIA and TYLOO are the first teams confirmed for the event

"We will host the LAN when it's safe for international players to travel to China again," a CGA representative told HLTV.org. There are currently three options to be the host city for the event: Beijing, Hainan and Chengdu.

FunSpark ULTI will feature eight teams, four invited and four qualified, with TYLOO and FURIA being the first two sides confirmed for the event. The online qualifiers will run from August 8 through October 10 in three regions (North America, Europe/CIS and Asia) and will also have $37,500 up for grabs.

The team list for the Chinese event currently looks as follows:

TYLOO

Invite #3

EU qualifier #1

NA qualifier

FURIA

Invite #4

EU qualifier #2

Asia qualifier

2020-07-15 14:18

very nice))

Okay

Eight of the worlds best teams lmao

+1 only inviting tier 2-3 teams to guarantee the win for tyloo

2020-07-15 12:11

and furia going to win lol

2020-07-15 12:29

lol true

2020-07-15 22:56

Do u actually think tyloo can beat teams like Furia and North??? Cmon men’s that’s not possible

2020-07-15 12:55

north maybe

2020-07-15 13:04

Oh I forgot kyaerbye has left.

2020-07-15 13:19

Agreed

Nah tyloo is really bad trust me. Take their results in Asia with a grain of salt, because their style doesn't work out well against Eu or Na teams.

2020-07-15 17:24

Haven’t seen them play for a long time

2020-07-15 22:57

2020-07-15 12:03

Giants invited for EU qualifier but not sAw?

That's a weird invite and they also have conflict of interest with x6tence

Pretty weird tbh

2020-07-15 13:15

Conflict will only happen from 2021 on

2020-07-15 13:18

Giants bought x6tence already?

2020-07-15 13:24

Yep

2020-07-15 14:55

giants is way more known than sAw, its preatty normal, but still would prefer 100% sAw over Giants

Either there is conflict with another event or giants were invited because of ext6nce. Saw might need to qualify

FunSpark ULTI: José, we would like for your team to participate in the EU qualifier. José: Which one? FunSpark ULTI: Yes.

2020-07-15 14:59

cool 😎

2020-07-15 12:28

t2 event lul

why Giants and no sAw?

I'm guessing there's some deals/good relations existing between owners/TO's, or maybe it has to do with x6tence being already invited and Giants owning them. Giants are by far the weakest team on the EU qualifier list...

2020-07-15 14:13

stacked t2 event

don't support this atrocious country

2020-07-15 12:38

I learnt a new word today.

2020-07-15 19:05

2020-07-15 13:14

2020-07-15 17:44

North?

2020-07-15 13:09

Lol 7-8 spots for chinese xD

lmao i watched perfect-world-asia-league-summer-2020 and TYLOO have almost won every game in the league except against ViCi. i dunno about the asian cs scene, but the only really stabile team is TYLOO i think, the rest are just randoms..... TYLOO currently rank 50 atm.

Tyloo lost to Invictus

2020-07-15 19:09

ah yes i checked it now, my fault sorry, i checked some days ago i mixed up in my head.

2020-07-15 17:27

hmm ok, OFFSET will probably buy the sAw lineup

2020-07-15 17:51

Yo le noob, Offset probably can't buy the sAw lineup, imo no iberic org can buy out this roster.

2020-07-19 13:16

No OCE spot? Sad.

2020-07-15 14:52

They should be invited since the tournament seems to not include any team from top 10 since they want Tylul to win some matches xd

2020-07-15 17:52

WHO the f*ck allowed Chinese people to access HLTV.org kekw

Quick reminder that china lied, people died

2020-07-15 15:09

Yeah because Russia definitely didnt lie about their Corona numbers....

2020-07-15 15:17

Why would we lie? We already have a big numbers, china withheld information about virus for months, also we are supposed to believe that in 1.5 billion nation numbers just dropped to zero in no time?

2020-07-15 15:35

Yeah, why would Putin want to fake the number, why would he want to show whole world that he is superior in handling Corona outbreak. I cant figure anything :/

2020-07-15 15:36

Fuck China. Fuck em all..to death? :)

Jokes about virus are deleted XDd

2020-07-15 15:19

2020-07-15 18:46

SO BEAUTIFUL to see CIS teams included in Europe... FINALLY a intelligent event organizer that don't think that CIS is a fucking continent. +1000 respect for FUNSPARK

CIS is a fucking region.

2020-07-15 23:03

Do you think CS players care about bycotting Chinese events for the oppression of their people, and the genocide of Uyghar muslims? Nah CS players want that money. PS. Try not to buy shit from China anymore. I hope twitch chat spam disses China for their Hong kong abuse, Uyghar genocide, and Corona.
