With only a few days left before The Bucharest Major starts, an interesting information has emerged. Amongst the 16 teams competing in the event, only 8 teams will be in on the money this tournament, compared to the previous Majors (ESL One: Hamburg, ESL One: Katowice, Dreamleague: Season 8) where all the teams competing at the event split the prizepool.

This champion of The Bucharest Major, given the current distribution, will walk away with $500,000 – a hundred thousand dollars more than Virtus.Pro received for winning the recently concluded ESL One: Katowice.

Current distribution: $1 Million is split between the Top 8 teams

The Bucharest Major hosted by PGL is set to take place at Romania from the 4^th March 2018 to 11^th March 2018. 16 Teams will be competing at this event with $1 Million Prizepool and 1500 DPC points at stake. TNC Pro Team and Mineski will be the two SEA teams taking part in this event.

We will put out a Survival Guide quite soon, so stay tuned to AFK Gaming for further updates.
