Online Cups

Season 2 Cups

Season 2 Online Cup format.

Online Cup prize pools have increased from season 1, going from $1,000 to $3,000. They now take place over two day spans instead of one day. Saturdays feature the Open Bracket, where non top-8 seeded teams play in best of 3 series, while Sundays feature the Legendary Bracket with the top 8 teams facing off with the top 8 open teams in best of 5 series. As a result of the first cup being cancelled, it has been announced that the remaining seven cups will feature increased prize pools to make up the difference.[4]
