Today Ballerpoker.com announced the Ballerpoker.com World Cup. With an overall prize pool of $6,000 and 512 players that will be featured during the qualification stage, Ballerpoker introduces its first tournament as a very complex one.

In order to ensure smooth games the tournament will be supervised by The Gaming League, TGL, who recently received a huge prize money benefit in their WarCraft Premier League, as Ballerpoker was announced as the new sponsor.

Of course those 512 players will feature some of our fnatics. Shy and FoCuS were already invited to the second ground which will be a group stage with 32 players. Half of them will get the chance to grab a spot during one of the four planned qualification tournaments, while the rest will consist of invited players. The last of the tournament is meant to be a playoff stage, featuring an upper and lower bracket. Furthermore the third-place-decider and grand final will be played in the bo5 mode to ensure that the prize money is distributed in the right way.
