WePlay.tv and Lenovo have partnered up to host the $8,000 Overwatch Lenovo Cup, starting the 5th of September.
Was about time we got another big event announcement, right? Well, WePlay.tv and Lenovo have delivered. Starting September 5th, and with the Grand Finals scheduled for the 22nd, we will be able to enjoy all that the Europe region has to offer. Five teams will get invited (names will be announced soon), and another three will be decided through Open Qualifiers (with one Qualifier being CIS only). All matches will be played online.
The prizepool will break down as follows:
- 1st Place - $5,000
- 2nd Place - $2,000
- 3rd Place - $1,000
For those of you who have been waiting for more Overwatch content on the Twitch.TV/GosuGamers channel, you will be happy to know we will be hosting the English casts of the event. Russian viewers will be able to tune in to Twitch.TV/WePlayBlizz where Sleepsomewhile will be taking care of the Russian cast.
More information about the exact format, and qualifier registrations, will be posted later. For now, celebrate the fact we are getting yet another big tournament and start speculating whether the PTR balance changes will have a big impact on the meta.
