What is the route to the Pinnacle Cup VI Final?
The tournament kicks off with a Play-In Stage, where 16 teams will compete for four spots in the Swiss Stage. In the Swiss Stage, they will be joined by 12 additional invitees, where a Swiss-system format will decide which eight teams make it through to the playoffs.
Four more teams will enter the tournament during the quarter-finals. The playoffs will be a Single-Elimination bracket, with all games being best-of-three. This all leads to the final, where the Pinnacle Cup VI champions will be determined!
Which teams have won previous Pinnacle Cups?
The first Pinnacle Cup took place in March and April of 2021, and was won by Gambit Esports. The roster included Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov and Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov, who would both later compete under the Cloud9 banner.
Pinnacle Cup II took place in July and August of that same year. This time it was Team Spirit who won the event, with players such as Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev and Abdulkhalik "degster" Gasanov.
In March of 2022, it was time for the third Pinnacle Cup. SKADE, an entirely Bulgarian roster at the time with Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov and Denislav "dennyslaw" Dimitro, made it all the way to the final from the Swiss Stage to win the tournament.
A month later, we held Pinnacle Cup IV. This time the unthinkable happened. Finest, with Simon "twist" Eliasson, started off in the Play-In Stage and battled their way through the Swiss Stage and the playoffs, and went on to defeat Eternal Fire in the finals and win. This earned them a well-deserved spot at the Pinnacle Cup Championship.
The Pinnacle Cup Championship was a LAN event held in June 2022 in Lund, Sweden. A highly competitive field of eight teams took each other on, only for Heroic - under the command of Casper "cadiaN" Møller - to defeat their fellow Danes, Astralis, and lift the trophy!
