DATES

Qualifier Dates: Oct 25-26
Finals Dates (in Beijing): Dec 4-5

PRIZE SPLIT

First: 25,000 USD (~19,000 Euros)
Second: 15,000 USD (~12,000 Euros)
Third: 7,500 USD (~6,000 Euros)
Fourth: 2,500 USD (~2,000 Euros)

Currency conversions done via Google on 9.26.14 and are rough estimates.

Side Note: Placing Third in this event would be the equivalent to Winning the 2013 Invitational tournament held last year and would tie your team with SYNC for the highest earning players from Cash Prizing in GW2 (obviously after this event however, you would be behind whoever takes first and second).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

New “Call of the Mists” Buff during major tournaments:
- Grants players 10% increased PvP rank point gain, +15% reward track progress, and an extra 100% magic find while inside PvP maps.

Flumek.9043:
2 spots go to the “host region”.

When its in EU well have 2x EU teams, same for NA.

Yep! This is so we can have an even number of teams and go for a standard elimination tournament, rather than something like round robin.
