Call Of Duty: TEX invites announced

Europe and North America's best pick up direct invites for the-eXperience LAN this Summer.
The organizers of the €25,000 tournament have revealed a number of new details today, with the direct invites and the prize payouts earning the most attention. Home team Roskilde Ravens tops the list and the Danes are joined by the likes of fnatic, MYM and i33 champions Dignitas. North America has received four direct invites, with Nexus, Pandemic, MoB and Team EG all looking to attend.

The event will be run using the standard rules but the prize payout system is a little unorthodox. Teams in the playoffs will win cash for matches won in the upper bracket making it very profitable to avoid the lower bracket. The maximum amount a team can make would be €13,500 for winning the tournament and going undefeated in the playoffs. Further details of this system can be found below.
