GGMasters results
The weekly GGMasters ran alongside and is without a doubt a highlight of its own. Though the results will not be credited towards the GGSeries Leader Board, players do earn points for the Player of the Year tally. Its $150 buy in for a piece of the enormous $500,000 guaranteed prize pool has raised its popularity. However, the recent event may have been compromised by the GGSeries with an overlay of nearly $70K.
