14-10-2024 15:53

The tournament in Belgrade, Serbia will dish out $150,000 to the eventual winner.

fnatic will be hoping to improve their form after a poor start to life with nawwk on the roster

A raft of top 50 squads are set to travel to Belgrade, Serbia to compete in RES Regional Champions from October 16-19 for the lion's share of a $250,000 prize pool. A whopping $150,000 of that pool is set aside for the winner of the competition.

The eight teams will be split into two groups of four and will play out a GSL-style BO3 bracket, with the top two teams from each group proceeding to the playoffs. A straightforward single elimination BO3 bracket will play out for the playoffs.

Sangal will come into the event as the highest-ranked squad, having built up an impressive online resume over the year and qualified for Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR with relative ease back in August. Sangal also took notable wins over HEROIC and FaZe at ESL Pro League in September, but were unable to qualify for the playoffs.

nawwk joins fnatic on loan*

fnatic will be making their first foray into LAN play since adding Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson to their number in favor of Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier, and come into the event as the second-highest ranked team. They have, however, endured a tough start to life with nawwk, falling to convincing 0-2 defeats online to Into the Breach and Metizport, and will be hoping to turn things around in Belgrade.

BLEED roster cuts ties with organization over alleged non-payment, BLEED respond*

The event will also see UNPAID playing their first matches since parting ways with BLEED amidst claims of unpaid salaries and broken promises by the Singaporean organization. UNPAID's squad will also open their campaign against fnatic, meaning they will face off against their former teammate nawwk almost immediately after his departure.

The teams in attendance are as follows:

first LAN of the year for Fluxo and Solid. Why is there no LANs in Brazil? They have million teams playing in online leagues all the time but nobody bothers organizing local bigger LAN for their lower level teams? Mind boggling quite honestly.
