Behind the scenes here at FoM our crew has been very busy to provide our Boxing edition with an unseen prize pool! In the coming weeks we will launch our competitions so you can register to participate. There have already been some announcements regarding -competition values, but here's the full and definitive competitions list for FOM 14.1 (current prize values may increase):
League of Legends 5vs5: €5000 value (cash TBA + product)
CounterStrike: Global Offensive 5vs5: €3700 value (€500 cash + product): cash sponsoring increases when more teams participate! More info TBA soon.

CHANGES
Counter-Strike Source: €1000 value (product)
Counter-Strike 1.6
After long thought and consideration, the FoM crew has decided to run Counter-Strike: GO as an official competition. The Counter-Strike Source compo will stay in the games pool with a prize pool that is still very attractive. The Counter-Strike 1.6 competition got cancelled. We chose for CS:GO because we wanted to support the newest addition to the Counter-Strike franchise to help it become a full-fledged e-sports game. Because 3 Counter-Strike team competitions require too much time, sponsoring,... we have decided to cut 1.6 from our competitions. Counter-Strike Source will still have a competition with a value of €1000.
Counter-Strike: GO can get a very nice cash sponsoring as well next to its product sponsoring, but that kind of depends on you guys! When we have 16 teams or less participating, we will supply the competition with €500 cash. With more than 24 teams, that gets bumped up to €750, and when we hit 32 teams we'll have a massive €1000 cash sponsoring, making it a total value of €4200!
We hope we can count on your support with this decision. We, as an organization, want to innovate in offering an impressive list of new competitions. The rulesbooks for all these competitions will be placed online in the next few days, registrations for the competitions start the 1st of September (except the CounterStrike: GO that will start earlier). The exact prizes for each competition will also be announced in the coming weeks on a compo-by-compo basis.
Happy fragging!
