With the inaugural season of Nation Wars being such a success, O'Gaming are looking at taking the online tournament into the LAN sphere by hosting the finals at Le Trianon Music Hall in Paris through community-driven crowdfunding. The crowdfunding is not only meant to cover the production costs of hosting the event, but also increasing the overall prize pool for the tournament itself, taking a page from the book of Dota 2's current system for ticket purchases.
Following the same procedure as last season, players from a list of invited countries will apply to enter the draft for their respective country, whereupon fans will vote for which members that will end up representing their nation in question.
