EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Battlegrounds Cup, announced a month ago, is now starting. 8 invited players will join up the top 8 Battlegrounds players from European Ladder to fight for their share of $10,000 prize pool. Each invited player will team up with one qualified player and try to get the best score over the weekend.
