Global esports capital, hosted in a world-class, premium setting. Credibility and prestige elevate the circuit.
The lan events are hosted at Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers hotel and feature 16 teams playing double elimination, there’s no direct invites and all teams play the main tournament which is a double elimination bracket.
