The German team BIG received an invitation to the V4 Future Sports Festival tournament, which will be held in Hungary in the LAN format shortly after the end of the PGL Major in Stockholm. The prize fund for this event is $380,000.
Today the team of Johannes «tabseN» Wodarza is ranked 11th in the world and recently qualified for a major, finishing 10th at IEM Fall Europe. Thus, taking into account the invitation to the V4 Future Sports Festival, the schedule for the rest of the year for the German team is very busy – they also plan to perform at major fall and winter tournaments, including Dreamhack Open November, BLAST Premier Fall Final and IEM Winter.
12 teams are expected to take part in the V4 Future Sports Festival, and six of them are currently known. Four teams (Czech Sinners, Bulgarian Fiend, Polish Wisla Krakow and Serbian ONYX) made it to this list based on the results of the V4 International Cup. Three more teams will receive direct invitations, and the rest will be determined based on the results of other local tournaments. So for now, BIG looks like the most likely candidate for the top prize, but that could easily change once the full line-up becomes known.
