Esports data platform GRID and tournament organiser Elisa Esports have revealed the details behind their Elisa Champion of Champions Tour points system.
Elisa will utilise GRID’s Integrity Services to coordinate the points distribution across all enrolled competitions. These include Funspark Ulti, HSH Series, and Elisa Invitationals, with more planned partner enrollments expected throughout the course of 2021.

Moreover, esports bookmaker Pinnacle has recently enrolled into the competition, meaning that its Pinnacle Cups circuit across 2021 will also be added to Elisa’s list of tournaments.
As mentioned in Elisa Champion of Champions Tour’s announcement, the points will go towards qualification for 2022’s Elisa Champion of Champions event. According to the release, previous competitions by the enrolled partners that took place in 2021 will be backdated and included in the rankings.
As a result, teams who competed in SnowSweetSnow 1-3, SpringSweetSpring Cup 1, the Pinnacle Cup 2021, Funspark ULTI 2021 Europe Regional Series #1, and the Elisa Invitational Spring 2021, will gain qualification points.
The top six teams at the close of all the marked competitions will gain automatic qualification to Elisa Champion of Champions.
Tom Warburton, COO GRID Esports, commented: “Over the last 2 years our Integrity Service team and technology has become paramount to protecting the competitive security and commercial interests of our partnered TOs and publishers. The opportunity to partner with Elisa across their landmark tournament circuit the Champion of Champions and combine both our data analysis with our integrity team’s work is the perfect fit.”
Elisa Esports has also revealed how points will be calculated, with the amount ranging from one point, which is given for participating, to 15 points if a team wins a tournament.
