ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) organises an esports tournament called ROG Masters 2017, with a prize pool of 500,000 dollars. The best 20 teams in CS:GO and Dota 2 around the world, including professionals and qualifiers from these regional competitions, will meet each other in battle for the main prize. The Nordic qualifiers will feed into a live offline event held on the 5. of August at Assembly Summer in Helsinki, Finland.

In the Nordic region the competition will be organised in two stages: first online organised by ESL Play Nordic, which will lead to an offline final event in CS:GO and an online final for Dota 2.

The qualifiers will be held on the following days: 12 July - 20 July 2017. The finalists for CS:GO will earn their slot in the 15,000$ USD offline final being played on 5. August, at Assembly Summer 2017 in Helsinki, Finland. Their travel and accommodation from any Nordic country will be paid for by the organiser.

For Dota 2 the top 4 teams for each qualifier will feed into an online final for the top 8 teams. This final will give the Nordic contender for the region a chance to take part in the EMEA Qualifiers, to be announced at a later date. More information about ROG Masters is available at ROG Masters
