Go4SC2 ESL



We are happy to announce a change to the prize money distribution of Go4SC2, one of the staple tournaments of the European scene for three years in which many of the world's best and upcoming players have competed in.



Starting this month, there are now four times as many chances to earn prize money as before, as we have increased the spread of prize money from winner-takes-all to a top2/4 distribution.



Go4SC2 Monthly Finals now features €600 prize money split among the top 4 players €300/150/75/75 - formerly €500 winner-takes-all.



Go4SC2 Sunday now features €150 prize money split among the top 2 players €100/50 - formerly €200 winner-takes-all.



Go4SC2 Thursday now features €75 prize money every week split among the top 2 players €50/25 and the winner qualifies directly for the monthly finals - formerly without prize money. Go4SC2 Thursday is exclusive to ESL Premium members.

If you look up the career progression of the European top players who clawed their ways from the bottom to the top, you will definitely find Go4SC2 somewhere along their way.



edit: we definitely need more outside coverage for the event!

Completely agree. It also kept me going for ages by giving me motivation to play and something to measure my progress against.

This is exactly why we run Go4 and have supported it for 3 years (2.5 years of that paid for out of our own pocket) - it's hugely important to us to foster talent across Europe!



We're going to work on improving our coverage again, it's really tough at the moment with so many other tournaments!

I have a perhaps bold and possibly remaining-to-be-unanswered question:



Are the next Go4Sc2's going to fit into the WCS League system, or will they be unrelated?

I like your thinking



The qualification and structure for WCS Europe is still being decided, as soon as something can be said it will be announced!
