Sixteen European teams go head to head in StriveWire's first Monthly Overwatch Brawl!
On February 4th and 5th, this weekend, StriveWire in partnership with Feenix.gg will be presenting one of the largest European competitions in a while. Sixteen high level EU teams will face off in double elimination Group Stages starting on Saturday, February 4th. Unlike the Overwatch Alienware Monthly Melee series, the StriveWire Brawls will feature double the groups. In order to keep the event length to just two days, the bottom two teams from each group will be eliminated at the end of day 1.
The top two teams of each group will move forward into the single-elimination playoffs played out Sunday, February 5th. All matches are held in a Best of 3 format. Tiebreakers will be played on King of the Hill maps with the Upper Bracket tiebreaker being on Lijang Tower and the Lower Bracket tiebreaker being on Nepal.
