The event will feature a best-of-three, double-elimination bracket with a $150,000 prize pool. There will be two matches played per day, with the opening games starting on Friday, Jan. 25. Once the action kicks off on the weekend, ELEAGUE is opening up the venue to fans who want to watch the games live. All they need to do is pick up tickets on ELEAGUE’s website.
