We've traveled to Espoo in Finland to compete in a $200,000 tournament.
Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 is the name and is ongoing between November 16th and November 20th, with twelve teams battling for a combined prize pool of $200,000.
It is a short competition, where the Group Stage lasts two days, with each group concluding in one day in a best-of-one Round Robin format.
The top three from each group are qualified for the Playoffs, and in addition, there's a Semi-Final spot awaiting the first-place team in the group.
Best-of-three, Single Elimination is the format being used during the Playoffs. The Grand Final is being played on Sunday, November 20th at 18:00 CET.
We are playing our first match in Group B on November 17th at 11:30 CET against SAW.
