Introducing the Mortal Kombat 11 tournament WePlay Dragon Temple

WePlay Esports is proud to present WePlay Dragon Temple, the first fighting game tournament from WePlay Esports media holding company.

You will be able to follow the action from December 10 - 13 as the best players will test their might on the fiery stage at WePlay Esports Arena Kyiv, with $60,000 on the line - the FIRST ever event in the custom build arena.

The contest of champions will consist of two phases, the Group Stage and Playoffs. The former will have all teams split between two round-robin groups, with players required to win two out of three sets against their opponent. The latter phase will see the top four contestants from each group advance to the Playoffs, where they will battle it out in a Best-of-5 double-elimination bracket.

The things that lie ahead.

Throughout the last couple of days, unconfirmed information not released by our Press Office has circulated in the media space, alleging that WePlay Esports media holding plans to spend $10 million on Dota 2 and CS:GO prize pools. Also, the rumors discuss intent on hosting events on various continents. We would like to make one thing clear — this information is no more than rumors.

Someday, the media holding that is WePlay Esports might host events in China, Australia (as noted by our holding’s managing partner Yura Lazebnikov), or any other country. We also would like to allocate sums of that magnitude to prize pools and schedule events two years ahead. But we can’t do that in the current circumstances.
