Regions collide as IEM Gyeonggi gets under way
It's a clash between some of the best that Europe and Asia have to show, and a great way to close out the year for Overwatch.
It has been many years since IEM was last held in South Korea, but it is back bigger and better than ever. The six Overwatch teams brought in for the event are showcasing some of the best talent from Europe and Asia, who are all looking to end 2016 with a big title under their belt.
Round 1 - Best of 5
Round 2 - Best of 5
Round 3 - Best of 5
Due to their recent results in Asia, Rogue and Afreeca Freecs Blue are seeded into the semi finals, while on the first day of action the rest of the teams will be fighting for the chance to verse them. With $100k prizepool on the line, and the new lineups of Rogue and Misfits playing at LAN for the first time, it is sure to be an exciting tournament!
The first series is scheduled to start at 4:45pm KST (11:45pm PT, 2:45am ET, 7:45am GMT) and is between Misfits and Lunatic Hai, with the series between LuxuryWatch Red and KongDoo Panthera to follow.
As it is an ESL event, the casters for the event will be Mitch 'Uber' Leslie, Leigh 'Deman' Smith, Jason Kaplan, and Seth 'Achilios' King:
