Mythic in association with iBUYPOWER and Intel have announced the iBP Masters winter tournament with a cash prize of $50,000 on the line and have rolled out invites to eight teams exclusively from the North American region. The tournament will feature regional giants like Evil Geniuses and Extra Salt.
The iBUYPOWER Mythic masters event would run from November 11-14 with eight teams to contest from North America further bifurcated in two groups which are yet to be revealed. As headlined in a press release by iBUYPOWER, “Mythic masters is a confident step towards the revival of the NA CSGO scene looking to jumpstart the competitive spirit of all NA players.”
According to multiple sources, especially by HLTV.org, top regional teams have been invited with the likes of Evil Geniuses and Johnny ‘JT’ Theodosiou’s Extra Salt. Team Liquid were also among the list who received an invite for the tournament but were later replaced by Team RBG while EG’s European squad have extended their stay in Europe following their recent exit from the PGL Stockholm Major, the North American organization won’t use their main roster and instead would be spearheaded by Tarik “Tarik” Celik as the latter would list down players of his own choice for the tournament who will play under the banner of EG.
As said, the tournament would be played from November 11-14 and in a GSL format. Top two teams would advance onto the playoffs from their respective groups while the loser from the winner’s bracket would play the winner of the lower bracket. Teams seeded in the playoffs would face single elimination towards the grand finals. All the matches would be played under the best of three series format.
