With the related STAR-, PRO- and SEMI series already being well underway, it is about time for the lowest division to get off the starting blocks. The AMATEUR series marks the bottom end of the gigantic ladder pyramid and offers anybody a chance to reach the stars.

The second season comes with a cash prize of only $300, however all teams who pass enough groups (number depends on the amount of registered teams) climb up the ladder to the SEMI series which features more money and less matches. While Amateurs on the places 1 to 16 have their slot in the SEMI series safe, the places 17 to 32 need to pass additional relegation matches in order to advance.



With 491 teams, the amount of signed up participants is of immense extent already, however the registration links remain online until the hypothetical threshold of 1000 is reached.

Interested parties are still able to take part by completing their registration process until Sunday the 27th of May at 16:00 CET. The AMATEUR series officially starts on Monday the 28th with the first matches.
