The online tournament scene has shrunk with the introduction of the Major system, but many top European teams have signed up to the Global Grand Masters, a 3 week online tournament which fits snuggly around the ESL One Frankfurt and The International 6.
The online tournament which boasts a modest $50,000 prize pool is hosted by ProDotA, who also ran the National Cup earlier this year. The groupstage will run from June 15-16th and June 21st-22nd. The break is for the ESL One Frankfurt which takes place from 17-19th June.
Tier 2 invites (start in the groupstage)

Playoffs will include the top four teams from the groupstage who then join four high profile direct invites in an 8-team double elimination bracket from the 3rd-10th July. All matches will be broadcast by MoonduckTV, who will have another tournament to sink their teeth into.
