KEENCON TEAM SERIES
– 3rd Month: Saturday, May 4th –
OVERVIEW
Aiming to keep the professional and amateur Quake® scene active throughout the year, KeenCon is launching the KeenCon Team Series, a series of monthly online tournaments played in pairs, starting on 2nd March.
Played in a single division on double-elimination playoff, the seeding will be made based on the SR score of the highest ranked player of each team at the end of each month. The minimum ranking is Gold, so almost everyone can register and compete monthly for a chance to win monetary prizes and score points that will determine the top 8 teams with a direct entry into Barcelona KeenCon 2024.
The monthly prizepool is 350€ distributed as follows:
– 1st – €250 + 50% Donations –
– 2nd – €100 + 35% Donations –
– 3rd – €50 + 15% Donations –
The points reward is based on the final position of each pair at the end of each monthly playoff, with a distribution of:
– 1st – 10 points –
– 2nd – 7 points –
– 3rd – 6 points –
– 4th – 5 points –
– 5th – 6th – 4 points –
– 7th – 8th – 3 points –
– 9th – 12th – 2 points –
– 12th+ – 1 point –
At the end of the regular season, the top 8 teams will get a direct entry into the only competition to be held during Barcelona KeenCon 2024, a 2V2 LAN tournament with 16 slots and a prizepool of €10,000. A €250 grant will also be given to each qualified player to cover the costs of the trip to Barcelona.
