Final King of the Watch tournament before release features new format
Reunited will try to defend their King of the Watch title in a new format that features a challenger best of 3, pitting MyDong and Sooner or Later against each other for the chance to take down last week's champion.
This week signals the end of the closed beta and the last King of the Watch tournament. The popular weekly tournament is going out with a bang, however. There is a new format that will feature a best of 3 between former IDDQD stars Pluppie and Mendo’s new team, MyDong and the up-and-coming Sooner or Later. The winner of this challenger face off will move on to the best of 7 final.
Whoever moves on will have a mountain to climb as Reunited are waiting in the final. The 3rd overall ranked team has a brilliant run of form recently, taking 8 of their last 10 sets.
