Gamereplays.org's Heroes of Newerth section, in association with S2 Games, has announced the Amateur League Season 3, featuring a 10,000 gold coins prize pool.

The event is aimed specifically at amateurs that want an even playing field, rather than bumping into pros in the first round of tournaments, thus all teams that have won cash prizes in the past are ineligible to participate.

The Gamereplays.org Amateur League Season 3 features four qualifiers for each of the divisions (EU and US), followed by an 8-team single elimination Bo3 Division Championship bracket.

Sign-ups are on a first-come first-serve basis, so all interested parties should hurry up to grab their spot in the first qualifier, which is to be played this Saturday, February 4th.

Prizes
Amateur League Championship Overall Winner (EU vs US) - 5000 Gold Coins
Amateur League Championship Runner Up (EU vs US) - 3000 Gold Coins
Amateur League Division Runner Up (EU) - 1000 Gold Coins
Amateur League Division Runner Up (US) - 1000 Gold Coins
