Prize Distribution

Here's a short preview of what to expect from the matchups:


canada DWi (3) vs sweden Rea (2)/us ex-SK (7)


[DWi] showed an impressive performance in the Quarterfinals, swiftly defeating their opponents [DskB] 2-0. They now stand to face the winner of the Reason Gaming/ex-SK series, which has yet to be determined due to scheduling conflicts between the two teams.

[DWi] has done well against both opponents in the past, defeating ex-SK 2-0 in the Semifinals of the SK Gaming Tournament, as well as [Rea] on their way to become TS4 Q1 champions.

Previous Results:
Vs. ex-SK:
  • GRTS4 Q2 SemiFinals: DWi 0-1 ex-SK (VoD)
  • SK Tournament #1 Semifinals: DWi 2-0 ex-SK (VoD)
Vs. Rea:
  • GRTS4 Q1 SemiFinals: DWi 1-0 Rea (VoD)



us SK (1) vs europe MSI (4)


In probably the most anticipated matchup of the entire tournament, number one seed [SK] is set to face off against DreamHack champions Fnatic [MSI] in a series that could easily have been the finals.

Interestingly enough these teams did not meet at all during the GR TS4 season, but are currently set to clash in the HoN Super Series as well. In the past this matchup has gone both ways; [SK] took the series in the HoNor tournament while [MSI] claimed victory during the QQ Gaming Qualifiers. Either way, expect both teams to bring their best performance as they battle for a spot in the finals and a shot at the $1,400 first prize.

Previous Results:
  • QQ Gaming Qualifier 1: SK < MSI
  • HoNoR Tournament Invitational: SK > MSI
