Esports agency and events company Good Game Global and Deutsche Telekom have announced the new edition of the T-esports Championship (TEC), a regional esports event for the CEE region.
The tournament will feature teams from Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Czechia, Hungary and Poland and will have a €100,000 (£84,430) prize pool.
The tournament, now in its third season, is steadily expanding, and is one of the most prominent esports events in some of the countries in the region, such as Croatia. The upcoming season will feature four games: EA SPORTS FC 24, Brawl Stars, Counter-Strike 2 and League of Legends. Players from the six countries will be able to join open qualifiers until September 20th, 2024.
Following the open qualifiers, swiss and group stages will be held, and the tournament will eventually culminate in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, at a large-scale LAN event in November 2024. The venue for the LAN finals has not yet been disclosed.
Nikola Stolnik, the CEO of Good Game Global, noted that this year’s event “embodies the vision the company set out on nearly five years ago” when the idea was first created. Good Game is known in the region for producing several esports tournaments, including the Student Esports Tournament and the Good Game B2B event that takes place annually.
Patrick Schreiber, Project Lead T-esports and Business Development Manager at Deutsche Telekom, said: “We’re taking our esports activities to the next level with tec2024. We’re excited to announce that we’re expanding to three additional eastern European markets with Czechia, Hungary and Poland.
“This really puts the T-esports Championship on the esports landscape. With a total prize pool of 100,000 EUR for four titles, T-esports Championship has become one of the biggest esports tournaments in eastern Europe.”
