A Viewer's Guide to March's Alienware Monthly Melee

Tune in today for day 1 of the Overwatch Monthly Melee of March!

Event Hub

As always, Alienware has partnered up with Curse for another $10,000 Monthly Melee. This month's edition is played on the North American servers yet again, but with two surprise guests.

RunAway, the Korean powerhouse that is currently preparing for the Semi-Finals of APEX's Season 2, has been invited to compete against a selection of NA teams. Brasil Gaming House from Brazil has similarly received an invitation for this edition.

Rogue is back after winning last month's edition, while another team to look forward to is Selfless. As a longstanding team, the roster has reportedly been on a rampage during scrims. This AMM could be the tournament that catapults Selfless to the favorites list of events to come.

Today's matches will start and conclude the group stage, which in turn will provide seeding for tomorrow's double elimination bracket. Not all matches will be broadcast, but all teams will play on stream at least once.

When

March 18th and 19th, 14:00 PST/17:00 EST/22:00 CET

Prize Breakdown
 

  • 1st Place - $6,000
  • 2nd Place - $3,000
  • 3rd Place - $1,000


After last week's results, and the draw of the groups this time around, Group A should be won by Rogue fairly easy. Neither FaZe nor Fnatic has done exceptionally well recently, and BGH is the underdog that will also have to deal with higher ping.

Group B is a very interesting mix, and will provide an opportunity for the Western teams to match up against Korea. LG Evil is still the king of current NA, but a lot is uncertain. Due to the fragmentation that has occured over the past months, thanks in part to APEX, this Group B will finally let us (indirectly) compare the skill level of teams such as EnVy and the Koreans versus Immortals, LG Evil and even Selfless.
