The prize pool for NA Regional Championship, then, was expected to hit $50,000. But the good news for the participants, the tournament is offering more now and will encourage the teams to give their best as they participate.
As the NA Regional Championship winners get a slot for the WR World Championship, teams from every corner of the NA region are expected to participate in the major circuits. Tribe Gaming NA has already claimed the champion trophy of the first major. Moreover, Da Kun Gaming (DKG) won the Spark Invitational yesterday and became the first team to qualify for the world championship.
