The third edition of GosuCup SEA is upon us. This Saturday, November 15th, compete for $100, 60 Dota 2 keys and hundreds of rares by playing Hearthstone from your bedroom!
Like the first SEA cup, GosuCup SEA #3 is a regular cup, meaning there are no card or class restrictions (in contrast, budget cups only allow for basic, common and rare cards). Also unlike the budget cups, GosuCup #3 and all regular cups after that will give away $100 to the winner and will seed him, the runner-up and the bronze finalist to the grand finals in February.

Tournament structure and prizes: How to win cash prizes and Dota 2 keys and rares
Each week, the circuit will alternate between normal and "budget" cups, the latter of which will only allow for basic, common and rare cards to be used so even the Hearthstone newcomers will be able to compete, and on even ground with the "rich" players at that. The winners will go home with cash, Dota 2 keys and rares as well as a spot in the $500 grand finals.
All things summed up, we'll give away $1,300 in hard cash and more than $5,000 in Dota 2 keys and rares!
Tournament coverage
Every single cup - whether a regular or a budget one - will be extensively covered on GosuGamers with editorial pieces. Winners will get interviewed and get their names and stories across to the GGnet readership, gaining valuable exposure for themselves. What's more, as is GosuCup tradition, each nation will win points depending on its representatives' performance to determine which was the most consistent country over the course of the circuit.
Every piece of coverage - from results, to news, decklists and registration links - will be available in our dedicated coverage hub. This all-in-one page will keep you updated at all times on the progress of the circuit.
