SeatStory Cup IV Begins Today

For the fourth time, TaKeTV and NEEDforSEAT® have returned, inviting some of the best and most well-known players in the world to compete in another edition of the famous SeatStory Cup!

From November 12–15 2015, the players will travel to Krefeld, Germany to battle against each other and win the first place prize of $10,000. The overall prize pool this year amounts to a respectable $20,000.

The first three editions all featured very noticeable players and crowned some big names, and in the last edition, a very promising talent to rose in 2015. The first one was conquered by Cong “StrifeCro” Shu, the second by Janne “Savjz” Mikkonen, and the last one by the newcomer Jon “Orange” Westberg, who returns as the defending champion.
