GIGABYTE E-Sports Tournament is back! GEST now features a prize pool of U$D12,000 and the best teams in China!



Gigabyte’s tournament has been a staple in the South East Asian scene – hailed as one of South East Asia’s premier tournaments since its inaugural. Now, after months of hiatus, GEST with its signature 2-part play-off (SEA and Challenge) is now back with a total prize pool of U$D 12,000, with the bulk of the prize pool heading towards The Challenge.

The road to The Challenge starts from Mineski’s collaboration with Gigabyte, the Gigabyte-Mineski Pro Gaming League. Top teams from the monthly qualifiers (up to May) has been invited to play in the GEST SEA – fighting for a prize pool of U$D 2,000. Playing in a single-elimination, best-of-3 format all the way to the finals of GEST SEA, the top 5 teams will also stand a chance to be invited to GEST The Challenge.

The Challenge will feature 8 invited teams from China – Invictus Gaming, DK, NewBee, LGD, Vici Gaming, CiS, Tongfu.Wz and DT.NGC. 8 Chinese teams will face off with the best of South East Asia (single eliminition, best-of-3) for a piece of 10 grand. For fairness sake, The Challenge will be played purely in the Perfect World’s Chinese server, in which sponsored VPNs will be provided to all South East Asian teams.
