Copenhagen Games 2016 is less than a day away, and, here, we assembled all the information you need including the schedule, the talent list, the attending teams and more. Last year in the Øksnehallen exhibition centre, Virtus.pro were crowned champions and took home €14,000. This year, in the capital of Denmark, more than 60 teams will be playing for their share of the €30,000 prize pool, with the champions taking home €17,000. Different from the last edition, Copenhagen Games 2016's main tournament will feature 16 teams as opposed to last year's 32. Eight invited teams will face the top eight teams coming from the on-site qualifiers. Sixty teams split into groups of four will try to finish in the top two of their groups and then advance to the playoff stage, where they will have to win two best-of-three series in order to qualify. Due to a knockout format, losing a playoff series will mean exiting the tournament. The full list of teams and the groups of the qualifier can be found here. Dignitas are the highest ranked team, according to our rankings, that will attend the tournament. YP were one of the invited teams, but they experienced visa issues and had to be replaced by RCTIC.
