Kicking off the bracket stage of this tournament will be Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Reunited, with Dignitas waiting in the lower bracket to play the loser. NiP has always had upset potential and now with their new run of form look more dangerous than ever. They recently won our GosuGamers’ EU Weekly #19 and dominated their group in this competition, going 3-0 in series’ with a 9-1 map score. Reunited, on the other hand did struggle a bit, dropping a series to misfits. However, they have proven time and time again to be one of the most consistent teams in Overwatch. As if this wasn’t enough, Dignitas, currently ranked 4th in Europe will face the loser of this match. This promises to be an exciting day of Overwatch competition.
