Let’s recall, the European competition took place on November 6-8; four European League teams competed for the overall prize fund of $125,000. As a result, it was shared among the contestants in the following way:

Mexico
Estral Esports distinguished themselves in the battle against Timbers Esports in Mexican competition and gained a $10,000 share of the total $17,000 prize amount. The latter got $7,000.
North America
Six Major 2020 NA featured TSM, Oxygen Esports, Spacestation Gaming, and DarkZero Esports. The participants fought for a $62,500 first-place award.
The event started with the encounter between the “gold medalist” of US Division Stage 2 (DarkZero Esports) and the qualifier winner (Spacestation Gaming), which ended in the triumph of Spacestation Gaming. Keeping good performance, these guys managed to make it into the grand final and even had beaten the future champion, TSM, in the process. The winners-to-be, in their turn, fell to the lower bracket to play against DarkZero and compete for the spot in the grand final. After a brilliant performance, TSM took the lead and moved forward to the grand final.
Being one of the biggest favorites in the tournament and having one map advantage, SSG underestimated their opponents when meeting them in the decisive battle and let their guard down. Driven by a desire to win back after a failure in the summer series, TSM capitalized on the situation and snatched victory from their opponents.
The distribution of prizes is as follows:
Asia & Pacific
As far as you remember, this regional competition was split into three sub-divisions: North, South Asia, and Oceania.
North division finals featured a game between Cloud9 and Giants Gaming. This battle was quite easy for Giants Gaming, they smashed the opponents with a 3:0 score and gained $25,600.
In the Oceania finals, Wildcard Gaming played against Okami. After a shaky start on Oregon, Wildcard Gaming managed to win back and pulled out a victory with a 3:1 score.
The prize pool is distributed as seen below:
As to South Asia, it seemed that the tournament’s favorite, Union Gaming, with their early lead in the final, had every chance to win. But their opponents, MercenarieZ, didn’t want to give up.

As a result, the competition ended in MercenarieZ’s victory with a 3:2 close score.
