Fragadelphia Blocktoberfest tournament sold out in 3 minutes with over half the tickets being bought by international teams.

Fragadelphia has become a staple in the scene for VRS points. The small NA LAN has turned into an international tournament leaving smaller NA teams without attendance.

These teams will be competing for an incredible… $10,000 prize pool. Now for a small NA LAN this is an incredible amount for smaller teams, however, it is not smaller teams. It is filled with well established organisations looking to cash in on the VRS points rather than the $10k prize pool. This totally makes sense as this is one of the last LAN’s before the cut-off for the Budapest Major where this could make or break their qualification for the tournament.

One user had this to say about the small LAN event:

“It’s about the fact that one stupid small 10k LAN tournament can shoot you up 50-100 places in a ranking that matters so much for the entire scene since it’s essentially an almost closed circuit and you need those points so bad.”
