playHEROES Points Cup #3 (Series 2)

The Cyber Sports Network is proud to announce the 2nd playGAMES Cup Series for Heroes of Newerth. Along with several other game titles, the playGAMES Series will foster a consistent schedule of competition for all levels of gamers. Each Series will consist of four (4) single elimination bracket tournaments in which points are awarded to all participants. These points are automatically tracked on the CSN site, using our built in points system. The more active that teams are and their ability to win matches will result in more points. Each series of four (4) Cups (brackets) will end with a ‘Finals Cup’, where the top eight (8) Teams will compete for larger cash prizing. Once the series has been completed, the points will be reset and another series will begin.

All Cyber Sports Network playGAMES Cups will be free to join and will be streamed on the largest online gaming broadcast company, Twitch.tv, with commentary provided by professional gaming casters. Industry leading tournament technology and experienced staff members will administer all events.

All teams that play their matches will receive points and additional points awarded to those teams that win their matches. Bonus points are given out to the top 4 teams for each Points Cup.
