Over the last six months, we’ve run three full seasons of the Eternal Tournament Series. Many of you have watched and some of you have played in our tournaments, and wondered: what does it build to? Well, it all builds up to the ETS Midseason Major, the highest stakes Eternal Tournament ever with a $500 Prize Pool! Fifteen of the top performing players from the Eternal Tournament Series have been invited, along with one lucky Last Chance Qualifier winner. They’ve been divided into pods, and will be battling it out within their pods for a chance to advance to day two and claim their share of the prize money.

What to Watch

The tournament stream goes live on https://www.twitch.tv/arengeeeternal at 12pm EST on Saturday, April 15th. However, matches will have already begun behind the scenes. We start with pod A, who will have already played their first round by this point. Our first broadcast match will be between players who won their first match – the winner will move on to Day 2 and top 8! After that, we’ll look at the match between the losers of the first round – loser goes home, winner advances to a final match against the last remaining player. That match is for all the marbles – win and move on, lose and its over! After Group A, we’ll be moving on the the other groups in sequence, showing you the elimination/advancement games for each group. There will be twelve rounds broadcast, so plenty of high stakes Eternal action!

Group A

Season One Invitational Champion Toth201 heads up Group A. Until recently, he was our highest ranked player, and he’ll be fighting hard to reclaim his title. Against him is Rewind, the player with the most ETS Finalist results – but no wins. He’ll be looking for his first win here, starting with a win against Toth201. Rounding out the bracket, we have popular draft streamer SirRhino, who finds himself in the muddy waters of constructed yet again. How will he fare against vocal ladder player and season two IP leader Ilyak?

Group B

Leading off Group B is Season Two Invitational Champion iReedMinds. He hasn’t played much in the ETS in Season Three, but he’ll need to be back in top form if he wants to win the MSM. Facing off against him is Shedd, a lover of Stonescar and three time invitational attendee. Rounding out the bracket we have popular streamer LocoPojo, who came second at the Season Two Invitational. He’ll be up against Brazilian hero LoveUP, who earned his place here off a 3rd place finish at the Season Three Invitational.
