With Hellcase Cup 8 kicking off on May 18th, we opened up the Fantasy game for the group stage of the event, featuring prizes provided by the tournament organizer.
The prize pool for the online event will be $10,000, with additional funds added through crowdfunding, and a total of 20 teams in the competition. Sixteen teams will start in the group stage, with only one team per group advancing to the playoffs - where four squads will join them directly.
OG, Spirit, North, and Virtus.pro will be skipping the group stage, leaving the likes of Endpoint, Gambit, and Hard Legion as favorites to earn playoff spots.
Together with Hellcase, we prepared a Fantasy game for the tournament, which will be split into two parts, with prizes provided for the three best-placed users in each.
HLTV x Hellcase group stage league prizes:
