WHAT IS RED BULL PROVING GROUNDS

Red Bull Proving Grounds is the name of the regional Qualifier tournaments being hosted by the best tournament organizers (TOs) across North America where amateur players can prove themselves to be best in the country to earn a seat in the Red Bull Battle Grounds bracket. The TOs own and operate their own events; Red Bull is supporting as a partner.

PHASE 1 – QUALIFIER TOURNAMENTS

This year, the series has been greatly expanded. Last year, 1 representative was sent from Canada. This year, 3 participating cities (Toronto / Montreal / Vancouver) will send THREE representatives to show who the best Region is.
