The ASUS series returns to us in February with the same prize fund, same place but different game list.




Long before the Arbalet era, ASUS tournaments were a thing to watch in the CIS scene.

Some years ago the series was a perfect basis for such solo games as StarCraft: BroodWar, WarCraft III and Quake 3.

The official prize fund was always something between $25,000 and $30,000, even in the times of recession in Russia.

This tournament possesses the same charasteristics and is scheduled on 20-23rd February with online qualifications and one Moscow city preliminary minitourney.

This time, the official game list looks as follows:

Counter-Strike 1.6 5v5 Masters (32 teams) - prize fund $10,000.
