NuTorious announce $3,600 off-season tournament
The Philadelphia-based organization which features an ESEA Advanced squad has announced its partnership with Void.gg through an online event called Void.gg Invitational. The event will see two qualifiers being played before the main stage, both of which are free to enter. The three tournaments combined have a prize pool of $3,640, with the winner of the main stage claiming $1,000.
The first qualifier will be happening during the weekend of June 21st-22nd, while the second one will go from June 28th-29th. Both qualifiers, or NuT Cups as they are called, can feature up to 32 teams each and the top two from each qualifier will grab a spot in the main stage, with the remaining squads being awarded points given their final placing. The four teams with the most points that didn't reach the grand finals of any of the NuT Cups will advance to the Void.gg Invitational.
The main event will be played on July 12th-14th, with four other teams will be invited to join the eight qualified squads, but the first day of the Void.gg Invitational will see a play-in stage between these eight teams where only four will advance to the playoff phase.
