How to qualify

2. 16 places by ELO: the top 16 of the season ladder on Friday 8 January at 20:00. In 1v1, the ranked ladder of the mode (active players, never banned). In 2v2, the team ladder: the team is qualified with its two players.
3. 16 places in the qualifiers: the Weekly Cup of the same format on 9-10 January, open to every verified member (free pairs in 2v2). Places in finishing order: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then the quarter-finalists, the round of 16... (same round: best seed first). Players already qualified by ELO keep their place and the next finisher moves up.
4. Confirm your place by registering on the site before Thursday 14 January at 20:00 (in 2v2 with the partner you qualified with). Without it, the place goes to the next reserve of the same list, who has 12 hours to register.
5. Verified members only, not banned. Check-in from 30 to 10 minutes before the start, like every cup.
6. The qualifier cups award Grand Tournament places only (no cash prizes or cosmetics). No Weekly Cups on the Grand Tournament weekend.

Prizes of each Grand Tournament

In 2v2 the cash is shared: €50 and €25 per player. Third place is decided by a third-place match (Bo3). Cash prizes are paid within 14 days after the results are validated.

Free entry: no payment and no tokens are ever needed to play. Prizes are funded by part of the shop revenue (30% of the monthly net revenue, with the guaranteed minimum shown here) and paid by PayPal after verification. Cash prizes are only paid to players aged 18 or over (PayPal rule). Cheating or refusing a screenshare cancels the prize. PCPN may postpone or cancel a tournament (technical issue, too few players).
