Get ready to spend winter holidays with Hitbox Elite Cup

The holiday season is just around the corner and it will be a silent period for DotA 2 competitions but Hitbox prepared a brand new Cup tournament to give us the daily dose of competitive games between 22th - 29th December.

Hitbox Elite Cup might not boast an impressive prize pool but it will sure be the tournament to watch during the winter vacation. Eight teams will battle in a double elimination best-of-three bracket for the $2,500 prize pool. The grand finals will be a best-of-five matchup.

Recently eliminated form MDL, Troels "syndereN" Nielsen’s team Steak Gaming is among the team cast for Hit Box Elite Cup. Given the fact that Steak has a notorious Io player, namely Elias "Sealkid" Merta and with the new 6.86 meta in the making, it’s quite possible for us to see back in action Adrian "Era" Kryeziu’s signature Chaos Knight.

Whether they will play their comfortable heroes or not, Steak will have surpass some of the CIS great names if they want to win this. Hellraisers with Ubah, goddam and Afroninje in their line-up will be playing at Hitbox Elite Cup along with Arcade eSports (ex Power Rangers), VANSKOR is now at Prodota Gaming while Yellow Submarine secured Artes, Scandal an Gorec for this winter lockdown period.

No Logic Gaming are having a new line-up as well. Deciding to shuffle their roster after Global eSports Cup, NLG lost Madara and Spartan and welcomed Cosmin "Masakary" Nechifor and Filip "Zeroji" Erlandsson.
