[h3]THE EVENT:[/h3]
Hello and welcome to the Classic Cup! Join us for the finals of 'Carnage in Carthage' this Sunday, March 22nd at 13 GMT, when our two finalists—Tokyo Ghoul and VNS_CooL—will be competing for seasonal points, glory, and a cash prize!

Each stage of the Classic Cup season is focused on a single map with a mirror civilization match-up. Here, you can watch two of the top players in the world compete for control of the Mediterranean in a Carthaginian best-of-nine brawl.

Following game 4, we will be premiering a brief half time show with Classic Cup co-caster, Rommui, and three experts of the game. Stay tuned as they break down the first game and weigh in with their predictions about how the series will end. Following the stage, there will be a post-series analysis, Q&A, and sign-off.

This event is sure to provide explosive battles and moments of strategic brilliance. This is the penultimate tournament of the season and with the Classic Cup Championship just around the corner, so be sure to tune in to this epic event. Thanks and 14!
