9 vs 9 Tournament — Scryde International IV

We're thrilled to announce a hugely exciting event — a 9 vs 9 tournament on Scryde Classic X5. The tournament starts on October 18 at 15:00 (GMT +3).

If the tournament runs long, it will continue on October 19 at 19:00 (GMT +3).

There will be no castle sieges on October 18 due to the tournament.

Prize Pool

The tournament prize pool is $15,000. It is shared between the teams that finish 1st–8th, following The International (Dota 2) model: a team's place is decided by the stage at which it was eliminated, and teams eliminated at the same stage share the place and receive the same prize.

Gold Coin rewards for 9th–24th place are given on top of the $15,000 pool.

How Places Are Decided

• The tournament uses a double elimination bracket. A team's place is the stage at which it took its second loss and was eliminated.

• Teams eliminated in the same lower-bracket round share the place and receive the same prize. Maps and matches won do not count: losing 1:2 or 0:2 in the same round gives the same place.

• If a team breaks the rules (for example, played under a fake nickname), it keeps its place, but the prize is not paid out.

• Grand final win — 1st

• Grand final loss — 2nd

• Lower bracket final — 3rd

• Lower bracket semifinal — 4th

• Lower bracket round 8 / 7 — 5th–6th / 7th–8th

• Lower bracket round 6 / 5 / 4 — 9th–12th / 13th–16th / 17th–24th

• Lower bracket round 3 / 2 / 1 — 25th–32nd / 33rd–48th / 49th–64th

If there are fewer than 64 teams, some rounds have byes and the place range narrows to the actual number of teams (for example, 17–22).

Conditions for cash prizes:

• Fake nicknames are not allowed at registration — use the name the community knows you by. Otherwise, if your team places, the prize is not paid out.

• Cash prizes are paid out from October 20 to 25 only to active Scryde players (any server).

• The winning team must stay active after the tournament: every party member must play on any Scryde server. This is checked by HWID or game login of every player in the full roster. Teams with no activity after the tournament will not receive cash prizes.

Gold Coin payout:

• Paid out the day after the tournament ends.

• Credited to the party leader's nickname (any server).
