ASUS ROG is proud to present a special eSports event this summer, featuring two Blizzard titles and a total prize pool of $40,000 USD. The tournaments will each feature 32 top players, who’ll battle it out for a share of $25,000 USD in Hearthstone, and $15,000 USD in StarCraft II. ASUS ROG Tournament Summer 2015 will take place at ASSEMBLY in Helsinki, from July 30th to August 1st.

This summer, ASUS ROG Tournament continues at the Finnish computer festival ASSEMBLY. New for this edition is two game titles coupled with the biggest total prize pool in the event's history.

Prepare your card collection, shuffle your deck, and get ready for the ASUS ROG Summer 2015 Hearthstone Tournament, beginning on July 30th with a $25,000 USD prize pool. In addition to this, the ASUS ROG Summer 2015 StarCraft II Tournament will be played on the 30th and 31st of July with a $15,000 USD prize pool.

Both tournaments will consist of 32 players gathered through direct invites (16) and online qualifiers (16)—we’ll have more details on the qualifiers later. There will be plenty of talent on show—some of the world’s best StarCraft II players will battle it out at the event, and top card-slingers from Europe will compete in the Hearthstone tournament.

ASUS ROG is thrilled to be a part of the rising star in eSports that is Hearthstone and to continue supporting the excellent StarCraft II scene as they have in previous years. Expect no less than stellar performances from our players, production crew and admins as we bring you the best tournament experience possible.
