Tournament Information
This August, ASUS ROG Summer 2019 StarCraft II Tournament brings the highly competitive real-time strategy game back to one of its former hometowns. From 2011 to 2015 Helsinki hosted seven prominent international SC2 events in the form of ASUS ROG Tournament, gathering the best in the world to display their skills and inspire the audience and players. And now, it just happens that one of those young aspiring players from Helsinki has risen to the top of the World. What a great time to gather the crowds once again in to Helsinki and let them see for themselves, in a proper arena, what hard work and dedication in a proper environment can achieve.
The 3-day tournament includes 32 professional players from the WCS Circuit who compete for a prize pool of $25,000 USD and 3200 WCS Circuit points. Eight players are directly invited for the spectacle while 24 spots are awarded through online qualifiers in July 2-9.
Players who are not eligible to compete in the WCS Circuit do not earn points for their placements, but they still are allowed to compete based on eligibility as determined by Assembly Summer.
