Like an ancient Roman spectacle, Red Bull brings us one great show.

Today starts a three-day event where competitors from around the world face off. This is first for Red Bull Battle Grounds as they hold one of the biggest tournaments for StarCraft II in Detroit, Michigan.

The top 8 will make there way to Washington D.C. in September for the finals, and to see who will take the crown. Players are not just playing for the top spot, they are also playing for $25,000 prize pool that will be distributed to the top 32 players.

You can keep up with the days events right here!
