Overwatch returned to its beta phase on February 9th, reigniting the competitive fire in the bellies of multiple FPS communities. Game On is joining the party by putting up $500 in prize purse for their first Overwatch Cup. They’ve also partnered up with Matcherino to bump that prize purse up by at least $100.?
Game On, the organization known for bringing you several CS:GO, DOTA2 and SC2 invitationals, has seen the same potential in Overwatch as we have. With help from the tournament infrastructure that we have built here at GosuGamers, Game On will be hosting their first Overwatch Cup on the EU servers for a prize pool of over $500 (with a little help from Matcherino). This will also be Team EnVyUs's first tournament after leaving the Hubris name.
- Date: Sunday 21st February 2016
- Prize pool: $500+ total,
- 1st Place: $320+
- 2nd Place $180+
- Main Stream: www.azubu.tv/GameOn with @TempoZP & @hexagrams
- Secondary Stream: www.azubu.tv/GameOn2 with @JoRoSaR
The broadcasts will start at 16:00 CET, with the finals estimated to be played at 18:15 CET. While the tournament will be played on the European server, teams from both regions are allowed to sign up through our tournament page here. There is a maximum of 16 spots, several of which already taken (REUNITED/Eccentric/...), so be sure to sign up as soon as possible!
All Game On tournament rules are to be found here, with additional Overwatch rules readable here.
