A few more sleeps, then the seventh version of digitec Playground begins. League of Legends" will be played. You can still register for the first qualifier until shortly before the start. There are prizes worth a total of almost 14,000 Swiss francs to be won.

Soon it will be serious. On Saturday, the first teams will be competing for a place in the finals of digitec Playground Vol. 7. E-sports stalwart "League of Legends" is the game of the moment. In this so-called MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), two teams of five champions face each other. In the symmetrically structured playing field, both pursue the same goal: storming the opponent's base and destroying the Nexus.

One cup, two tournaments

The digitec Playground consists of two tournaments. One for the pros among you and the Grümpi for all those who join in for fun. The game is 5 vs. 5.

For both tournaments there are two qualifier rounds. In the Pro Tournament, a total of four teams can qualify for the finals and in the Grümpi, two can qualify for the finals. The semifinals in the Pro Tournament will be played in a best-of-one format, as will the Third Decider Match. The Grand Final will go to a maximum of three rounds.

The Qualifiers will take place online. The final will be played on site in Zurich.

Schedule, registration and ranking

Each player may only participate in one of the two tournaments. For the Grümpi, participants may register individually and will be randomly mixed into teams of 5. For the Pro Tournament, only complete teams may register.

For the Grümpi, participants may have reached a maximum of Gold 3. From Gold 2 you will play in the Pro Tournament.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
