FunSpark and 5EPlay have announced the schedule for the FunSpark Ulti 2020 tournament and talked about which teams will take part in the opening matches. Qualifiers will begin on August 8th and will be held separately for North America and Europe. Based on their results, one place will be up for grabs for North American teams and two for European teams.
16 teams will take part in the European qualifying games, which will first play matches in two groups using the double-elimination system, and then determine the leaders in the “best of three” format. The winners of the group stage will receive a pass to the main tournament and the opportunity to win $15,000 in the grand final, scheduled for August 20.
Eight teams will play in the North American division. The winner, determined by the double elimination system, will win $7,500 and the opportunity to take part in the LAN stage. FunSpark Ulti was originally planned to be held in early February, but there is now a high probability that the event will be postponed to next year due to the unfavorable epidemiological situation. Final dates will be announced as soon as it becomes clear when it will be possible to arrange for players from other countries to travel to China.
The tournament will be held in Beijing, Hainan or Chengdu. Four invited teams and four selected based on the results of qualification will play in it. It is already known that FURIA and TYLOO will appear among the participants.
