PGL Season 4 with €40,000 announced

chengdu, china, coverage, moon, pgl

At the last PGL season myMYM.com was the offical media partner outside Asia for the event, and this cooperation will continue for upcoming PGL Season 4, which means you will find all news from PGL on myMYM.com before anyone else has them!

In June 2008, China TH000 claimed the championship at the third season of PGL in Changsha and after winning the tournament he predicted that he could win it next season too; "I will keep the championship in China!".

Now the fourth season is planned and will be kicked off in November. The tournament will continue the combination of qualifying matches and play-offs. Qualifying matches are divided into three regions: China, Korea and Europe + America. The players who qualify will have a run for high prizes in the finals of the fourth season in Chengdu, where the top 2 from last season have had direct invitations.

One of the features of PGL since its establishment, is to bring something new to every season. In PGL Season 3, they broadcasted both Starcraft and Warcraft games on 8 channels while in Season 4, PGL is attempting to bring some changes to the qualifiers.

To offer more chances to the players with great capabilities, PGL set up the on-line qualifying matches in Korea and Europe + America rather than the invitation-system used in the last three seasons. In China, the qualifiers are kept as last season, but foreign players are not allowed to enter.

In PGL Season 3, the organization committee successfully tried to hold the Semi-final and Grand Final matches in a city outside of Beijing. As for season 4, PGL has decided to transfer the whole 10-days finals to Chengdu, a city full of eSports atmosphere.

Chengdu and the Sichuan province is acknowledged to be the cradle area of the best Chinese eSports players, and has attracted PGL with its nice atmosphere and skillful players.

PGL sincerely wishes to bring all eSports fans a great visual feast during the 10-days finals.

Nov. 12 to Nov. 26 PGL Season 4 Europe & America Qualifier (online)
Nov. 12 to Nov. 26 PGL Season 4 Korea Qualifier (online, only Warcraft3)

1:10 is like that rate half a year ago.. more like 1:9.3 nowadays

(last month) #9 YinYang

Divide by 10 ... then it would be 8000 ^^. But these 80.000 RMB should be something like 8.500 €.
