Sixteen champions of the streaming realms, summoned to the ancient battlefields of Warcraft III. Hosted by Grubby, the living legend. One crown, $10,000, and eternal bragging rights.
Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen — nine-time WCG medalist, crowned king of the Orcish hordes, and the most decorated Warcraft III player of all time — steps into the host's chair to preside over the Gauntlet.
Expect unfiltered commentary, deep strategic insight, and the kind of hype only a true legend can summon. This is his arena. These are his rules.
The main stage is Grubby's channel — unfiltered commentary and live casting. Follow the bloodshed from the champions' own points of view.
Streamers, personalities, and hidden ladder demons — summoned from every corner of the gaming multiverse.














Survive the group stage, claw your way into the bracket, and carve your name into the Gauntlet's stone.
Sixteen warriors are drawn into four warbands of four. Within each warband, every champion does battle with every other — no mercy, no retreats.
Eight survivors enter a single-elimination bracket. The weak fall. The mighty ascend. One champion claims the crown and the purse.
The Invitational purse splits as follows. Every cent goes to those who earn it by blade and wit.
All matches broadcast live from Grubby's lair. Cast in English. Timezones: 19:00 CEST / 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT.
The Gauntlet opens June 15. Grubby awaits. Will you answer the summons?
