Escape From Tarkov: Arena Cup Series Brings Back EFT Esports
Escape From Tarkov: Arena is getting another esports circuit.
The gritty survival game, Escape From Tarkov, introduced a mode quite similar to Counter-Strike called Arena, taking the realistic gunplay to a more competitive mode. The first-ever Escape From Tarkov: Arena esport event was at DreamHack Hannover last year and it looks like the mode is continuing to prove its competitive prowess.
The EFT: Arena Cup Series will feature 16 teams from the CIS and Europe regions, with the top squads fighting for a piece of the €25,000 prize pool.
The EFT: Arena Cup Series will have two stages. The first is a Swiss Group Stage and then a single elimination Playoff.
