The ROG Masters 2017
eSports tournament will feature over 20 top professional teams from across the
globe and offer a grand prize pool of up to USD 500,000. The dual DoTA 2 and CS:GO
tournament has grown significantly in scale and ambition, and with this almost
unprecedented reach, ROG Masters 2017 is set to raise the intensity of the
competition and take the DoTA 2 and CS:GO scene by storm.

Since May, teams from every corner of
the globe are battling it out in a series of 30 country qualifiers and four regional
qualifiers (EMEA, America, APAC, and China). The winners of these open
qualifiers will then take on the might of invited professional teams from each
of the four regions, fighting for a place in the Grand Finals in November,
2017.

ROG Marketing Director, Derek Yu, shares, “For
over a decade ROG has been committed to provide the most innovative hardware to
gamers worldwide, and last year we offered the gaming community an opportunity
to live their eSports dream with the first ROG Masters. Thanks to extremely
positive feedback from the gaming community, ROG Masters returns this year as a
global affair, inviting both pro teams and amateur players from over 30
countries across five continents.”

“We are not only proud of our commitment to create
the ultimate gaming experience with leading hardware and world-class eSports tournaments,
but also of our solid global network and local presence, which enables us to realise
an eSports event on such a scale. ROG Masters 2017 is a momentous milestone for
both ROG and the eSports community, and we are excited to be part of the
driving force for eSports at large,” added Yu.
