Chronology

The Summit

The Summit 3

The Summit 2 was a tournament hosted by Beyond the Summit (BTS) that featured one invited team and four teams that qualified through regional online qualifiers. The final team will be voted in by compendium owners through "Team Redemption."

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 be held at the BTS House in Los Angeles, where the crew currently live and work.

The tournament had a base prize pool of $100,000 with travel support provided for each qualified team. In addition to the base prize pool, 25% of all in-game sales for the tournament was used to increase the prize pool.
