Pinnacle Cup is preparing its triumphant return with Pinnacle Cup V, following the success of the recent edition of Pinnacle Cup: Brazil.
Pinnacle Cup V intends to maintain the spirit of the Pinnacle Cup Championship, which took place last year in Lund, Sweden, providing an extraordinary experience for the eSports community.
For this highly anticipated event, Pinnacle is partnering with data platform GRID and production partner Eden Esports.
The online tournament will retain its original format, encouraging an environment where teams of all skill levels can showcase their talents.
After the first phase, the teams will progress in the Swiss system format and will soon move on to the playoffs. The winning team will take home a share of the $50,000 prize pool.
Renowned teams such as Heroic (Championship edition winners), Astralis and Fnatic have all shined in past editions of the Pinnacle Cup, contributing to the rich history of the tournament.
We will continue to innovate from the start of the tournament on August 1, 2023.
Tournament will be streamed by Pinnacle on Twitch
The tournament will be broadcast live in both English and Russian on Pinnacle’s Twich channels, catering to a diverse audience in multiple languages.
In addition, we will also have live streams on the official Pinnacle Cup YouTube channel.
In the Swiss system phase, we will see fierce competition between teams like ECSTATIC, EYEBALLERS, Aurora, and Spirit, all fighting for a spot in the playoffs. These teams will then face four invited teams in the playoff stage.
Stuart Bridges, Global eSports Partnership Manager, said:
“We are excited to return to our flagship event with Pinnacle Cup V. This latest edition builds on the recent success of Pinnacle Cup: Brazil and Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes.
Our commitment to the various editions of the Pinnacle Cup demonstrates our ability and ambition to deliver scalable, long-term value propositions across all our products, as well as delivering engaging content by enabling streaming of the tournament across multiple channels.
We remain dedicated to the eSports community, giving players, teams and organizations the opportunity to compete with the best teams in the world, while developing compelling content and storytelling that put these groups front and center.”
Harry Wiggett, Director of Sponsorships at GRID Esports, commented: “We are delighted to once again partner Pinnacle and leverage GRID’s eSports Solutions to deliver world-class entertainment to CS:GO fans, with official data at the heart of the initiative.
Pinnacle’s commitment to contributing to sustainability in the eSports space is unrivaled, and the fact that we are working together on the Pinnacle Cup project for the third consecutive year is testament to how aligned our vision and values are.
We can’t wait to see all the teams in action!”
