WINNERS League announce $3,000 ALPHA Series

The two open qualifiers will also feature $1,500 prizepools to encourage signups.

WINNERS League have partnered with tournament platform Challengermode to host ALPHA Series, a $3,000 online event that is set to take place on September 16th.

Additionally, in the leadup to the main event, Challengermode will host two open qualifiers on September 1st and September 8th that have $1,500 prizepools on offer. 

Since the event was initially announced on August 14th, ALPHA series has undergone a number of date changes to better mesh with the busy North American CS:GO calendar, moving the qualifiers to better sync with Fragadelphia, the IEM Fall Open Qualifiers, and the DreamHack Open September Qualifiers.

The overall format of the event has also changed, doing away with invites in favor of having all six teams come from the open qualifiers. 

The prizepool for both qualifiers looks as follow:

1. $750 + Bye into the semi-finals
2. $450 + Qualify to ALPHA Series
3. $200 + Qualify to ALPHA Series
4. $100

As mentioned above, the winner of each qualifier will take home $750 and will receive a bye into the main event's semi-finals.

The prizepool for the main event looks as follows:

1. $1500
2. $750
3-4. $375

Currently, the turnout for the first open qualifier is quite poor, with TouchPoint and a mixteam led by Colin "koi" Thor being the only notable teams currently signed up. Interested teams can sign up for the first qualifier here.
