The first edition of the AlienTech European Cup will start on Monday, with eight teams battling it out for €1,500 in cash prizes. AlienTech, a Portuguese computer retail store which supports one of the strongest teams in the country, is looking to dig deeper into the Counter-Strike scene by hosting its own cups to provide lesser-known sides with the chance to win cash prizes and to get more exposure. The opening edition of the AlienTech European Cup will run from August 31 to September 8 and will see eight teams from across Europe compete for the bulk of the €1,500 prize pool.
The tournament will start with a best-of-one, double-elimination group stage, followed by the best-of-three, single-elimination playoffs with the top four sides. Below you can find the group draw in full:
