Snow Sweet Snow tournament series unveiled with $300,000 prize pool

The company behind the Home Sweet Home and Nine to Five cups has announced a new tournament series for the first months of 2021.

Relog Media, who has given away over $600,000 in prize money through their tournaments in 2020, has unveiled its plans for the first quarter of next year. It will host three Snow Sweet Snow events between January and March, with each tournament lasting a month and featuring a $100,000 prize pool.

Relog Media has split each Snow Sweet Snow tournament into four stages, allocating a portion of the prize pool to each segment. To start it off, eight regional GSL groups will be played, with the two best teams from each advancing to a regional Swiss group.

Relog plans to host several tournaments throughout 2021

From that point onward, the tournament is akin to the Nine to Five or Home Sweet Home cups. The 16 qualified teams will face off in a Swiss stage, from which the top eight will progress to another Swiss stage, joining eight invitees. The eight best teams will advance to the single-elimination playoffs, also featuring four invited sides.

The structure for each of the three Snow Sweet Snow tournaments, as well as the segmented prize pool, is available below:

Regional GSL - $1,000 per qualifying team (Total: $16,000)
Regional Swiss - $2,000 per qualifying team (Total: $16,000)
Main Swiss - $3,000 per qualifying team (Total: $24,000)
Playoffs - $44,000

The eight regions that will have GSL groups are as follows:

- Sweden + Finland
- Denmark + Norway
- Spain + Portugal
- UK + Germany
- Russia
- CIS
- Poland
- Balkans

Relog Media intends to continue with similar seasonal tournament series all year long, with the inclusion of North America or other regions also a possibility.

Because it's Europe some teams of NA might not be as good as some in the EU, but for sure they will beat Spain + Portugal teams w/o sweating.

I would give a chance to both Saints and 4glory from Serbia. Also its not just ex-yu teams, Bulgarian and Romanian team will be competing in Balkan qualifier as well. And even if they all cant fight with other teams, still its fair that country/region of production has 1 team playing in tournament
