The Summit

Los Angeles Online qualifier
Offline Playoffs
The Summit was a tournament hosted by Beyond the Summit (BTS) that featured two invited teams and four teams that had to qualify through regional online qualifiers.
Beyond the Summit aimed to create a "behind the scenes" oriented tournament, inspired by TakeTV's Homestory Cup in StarCraft 2, where the fans can see sides of their favorite players that they don't normally get to see. To achieve this the tournament was held at the BTS House in Los Angeles, where the crew currently live and work.
The tournament had a base prize pool of $50,000, with $30,000 in travel support also provided. In addition to the base prize pool, 25% of all in-game sales for the tournament were used to increase the prize pool.
