RGN's newest online tournament will return to European shores and feature a prize-pot of $3,000.
Following the conclusion of the online portion of its Pro Series tournament in Europe, RGN ran an Open tournament for Brazilian teams as well as a North American tournament but action in Europe simmered down to a lull.
The American-based organisation has now announced a new online, open tournament for European teams, which will run from October 1st-19th. The entry-fee for interested teams is $20USD per player.
