A total prize pool of $25,000 will be handed out for the tournament – which has once again partnered with Monster Energy – as the winners will take home $10,000.
Like in the other Hot Drop events, trios will compete on Verdansk and earn points based on eliminations. A multiplier will be applied to teams’ points based on where they place in the game.
