Community-driven tournaments are an exhilarating aspect of StarCraft II eSports, and we’re always thrilled with the passion and ambition that our players bring to life with their events. Every organized competition has to start somewhere, and we’re pleased to share that we’ve made a few updates to our guidelines for running tournaments. If you plan on running a tournament with a prize pool of $10,000 USD or less, you may not need to obtain any further license from Blizzard.

Check out our updated Tournament Guidelines document to find out how to run a license-free StarCraft II tournament, and ensure that your event runs as smoothly as possible. Or, if you prefer, this information can also be found on our World Championship Series portal.

Furthermore, if you have any questions or concerns about running your tournament, feel free to contact us at sc-tourneyinfo-eu@blizzard.com
