This holiday season, enjoy the gift of Overwatch with the Alienware Merry Melee.

Event Hub

The holiday season is upon us. Egg-based alcoholic beverages, brightly-colored spheres mounted on trees, and merriment. And since nothing is more merry than a giant German man crushing people with a hammer, it’s the perfect time for the Alienware Merry Melee!

As with the Monthly Melees that came before, this event will run for two days: a group stage on December 1st and a double-elimination playoff stage on December 2nd. Eight North American teams will vie for a share of a $5,000 prize pool, but only two will walk away in the money.

The tournament will be the debut for new team Rly Cool Guys, which is anchored by ex-Cloud 9 players Reaver and Grego. They’ll be joined by the new Cloud 9, compLexity, FaZe, Liquid, Method, Immortals, and Kingdom.

Tournament Details:

  • Dates: December 1st and December 2nd, starting at 2 PM PST/5 PM EST/11 PM CEST
  • Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/gosutv_ow
  • Casters: ZP, Hexagrams, Slasher, UberShouts and Goldenboy
  • Prize pool: 1st place receives $3,000 and 2nd place receives $2,000

So tune in starting this Thursday, and watch Rly Cool Guys as well as Goldenboy premier in the Alienware event series.
