Ukrainian Esports Cup with a prize pool of UAH 250,000

The Ukrainian Esports Federation in partnership with Eldorado is pleased to announce a grandiose esports event – the Ukrainian CS:GO Cup! All details can be found in our announcement!

Three months after the Ukrainian Esports Federation achieved the recognition of esports as an official sport in our country, UESF & Eldorado are announcing the first nationwide Ukrainian Cup. During the CS:GO season (held from January 18th, 2021, to March 28th, 2021) a total prize pool of UAH 250,000 will be drawn. The rules of the competition can be accessed through this link.

The format of Ukrainian CS:GO Cup arbitrarily divides the country into five conferences: “Center”, “East”, “West”, “North” and “South”. Each such conference includes four to six regions of Ukraine.

“West” Conference:

Volyn region Rivne region Lviv region Zakarpattia region Ivano-Frankivsk region Ternopil region

“North” Conference:

Zhytomyr region Kyiv region Sumy region Chernihiv region

“Center” Conference:

Chernivtsi region Khmelnytskyi region Vinnytsia region Cherkasy region Kirovohrad region

“East” Conference:

Kharkiv region Luhansk region Donetsk region Dnipropetrovsk region Poltava region

“South” Conference:

Odessa region Mykolaiv region Kherson region Zaporizhzhya region Autonomous Republic of Crimea

To take part in the Ukrainian Esports Cup, you must fill out one of our questionnaires:

West North Center East South Players without a team

It should be noted that in case you have a full five-player team, you’ll need to fill out one of the conference questionnaires (West, North, Center, East, South). Meanwhile, if you want to compete in the Ukrainian CS:GO Cup alone or with friends, but you are short of a full team, you will need to fill out the “Players without a team” form.

Each conference will be hosting two divisions – Division A and Division B. All teams will be registered using the appropriate Google forms, where they will indicate information about their personal accounts, as well as a team profile on the FaceIT platform. The organizers will distribute teams according to their ELO points: the stronger teams will go to Division A, while the weaker ones will go to Division B.

Championship system:

Division B – round robin with bo1 match format Division A – round robin with bo1 match format Playoffs of Division B – round robin with bo1 match format, 2 groups Super League – round robin with bo2 match format Super League Playoffs – classic Olympic single-elimination system with bo3 match format

In the first stage, regional qualifiers will be held under the modified regular season system. Each region will have its own Divisions A and B. The region’s best teams (in terms of total ELO points on the FaceIT platform ) will receive invitations to Division A. The regular season of Division A will consist of 66 matches, while the number of matches in Division B will depend on the number of teams registered.

Division matches will be played in a round-robin system with a bo1 format. The top 2 teams from each Division A will receive slots in the Super League, therefore forming the top ten teams. Two more slots will be drawn among all the top 2 teams determined by the results of each Division B. Ultimately, 12 best teams from all over Ukraine will get into the Super League.

The participants of Super League will receive a nice bonus from the Ukrainian Esports Federation. For each team, a logo will be developed, a uniform will be developed and sewn, a social media design will be developed, and, if possible, a photo session will be held.

The Super League will be held according to the Round-Robin system with a bo2 match format. The top 6 teams based on the Super League’s results will advance to the finals of the Ukrainian CS:GO Cup – where they will continue fighting in a single-elimination system with a bo3 match format.

As part of the Ukrainian CS:GO Cup, the Ukrainian Esports Federation, together with partners, will hold a huge number of draws with valuable prizes. For example, together with Parimatch and ExpertPC, we will give away two powerful gaming PCs.

By the start of the Ukrainian CS:GO Cup, the Ukrainian Esports Federation will equip its own Ukrainian-language studio, which will work exclusively in Ukrainian not only for this tournament, but for the subsequent ones as well.
