CHESS ONLINE
The fourth edition of ESPORTOVNIA - gaming without borders is fast approaching!
Despite being neighbors and having many similarities between our two nations, we – young Poles and our peers from the Czech Republic – know very little about each other. A joint tournament in the mobile game Brawl Stars is a great way to integrate through exciting competition.
ESPORTOVNIA is not just about competition; it's also a platform for meetings and exchanging views.
On the dedicated Discord server, participants will have the opportunity to meet players from both countries and attend sessions with specialists in cybersecurity and health prevention. All of this aims to foster discussions about online safety and the risks of a sedentary lifestyle.
When and how do we play in Esportovnia?
The competition will begin with online qualifiers, where we will select the two best teams from each round. The qualification dates are:
- September 21, 2024 (Round 1)
- September 28, 2024 (Round 2)
The winning teams will compete in the national finals, vying for the titles of champion and runner-up of Poland. The runners-up will play a match for third place, while the champions will advance to the Polish-Czech LAN final.
The LAN final will take place during Bielsko-Biała EDU Games on November 8, 2024.
Prizes and Awards in the Tournament
The prize pool for the tournament is 5000 PLN in cash!

Additionally, the finalists of the national competition will be invited to the LAN final, with all transportation costs covered by the organizer.
HOW TO SIGN UP?
1. Join Discord
The most crucial aspect of the entire event is communication. We want Esportovnia to be an opportunity for making new connections and friendships. We have created a dedicated, shared Discord channel for players from both Poland and the Czech Republic.
2. Join the Tournament
In four qualifying rounds, the best players will be selected to compete in the national finals. The winners of these competitions will face off against the top players from our southern neighbors. May the best win!

Esportovnia, like any tournament, has specific rules. Make sure you have read and will adhere to the regulations during the competition. If you have any additional questions, contact the administration on the Discord server.
FAQ
The Brawl Stars competition within Esportovni is conducted on the platform faceit.com. Each player must have their own account there, create a team, and join the tournament.
The tournament begins with the qualifications, which consist of 2 rounds. The top teams from each round will advance to the Polish-Czech final. This means that everyone has two chances to advance to the next stage! Players who have already qualified for the finals will not participate in the subsequent rounds. Each match allows 5 minutes per player, and the elimination phase follows a Swiss system played over 9 rounds.
Breaks during the competition are not planned; all matches will be played as quickly as possible unless otherwise directed by the administrator.
To participate in the competitions, you must first join the club and then join a selected qualifying tournament. You can join the chess club at any time. After joining the club, you’ll see the scheduled events—qualifying tournaments. Joining a tournament will be unlocked one hour before the event starts. You must join the chess club and the tournament at least 15 minutes before the start of the qualifying round.
We encourage you to join the Discord server at the following address: http://tiny.cc/esportovnia-discord. This is where communication with the administration and other players will take place.
Both chess.com and Discord can be accessed as websites in a browser, so there’s no need to install them. However, Discord also has its own app for both computers and smartphones.
To participate in the competition, a stable internet connection is necessary.
In summary: faceit.com is the tournament platform, and Discord is the text and voice communication tool.
All issues and suspicious behavior should be reported on Discord: http://tiny.cc/esportovnia-discord, which is the only communication channel with the tournament administration. You will receive support there before, during, and after the tournament.
