THE NATIONAL Finals of the Red Bull River Runes tournament happens this weekend where protagonists vie for the chance to further showcase their skills against world-class talents later in the year.
Happening on May 30, the finals comes on the heels of a series of regional qualifiers held within this month. The finals is done in partnership with Gariath Concepts and will be livestreamed by Lupon WomboXCombo.
Competitors in Red Bull River Runes battle on a custom map built in the DoTA 2 environment. The tournament offers players a fast-paced 1v1 mirror matchup that rewards intuition and the ability to make quick decisions. In order for a player to progress through the tournament, they must first achieve three kills or score the first kill on an enemy T1 Tower.
The winner of the finals gets the chance to go up in a 1v1 battle against a member of 2019 The International champion OG.
