Another $100k in prizes is on the line this weekend, in Las Vegas, for the top North-American teams!

MLG has set up a gaming festival in Las Vegas, over the weekend, featuring all sorts of activities for gamers as well as a Call of Duty and Overwatch tournament. The Overwatch tournament features eight invited teams, which will be playing for the $100,000 prizepool. EnVyUs is back in action, joined by the rest of NA's top tier. Get ready for the Group Stage matches, leading into the four team playoffs!

  • Friday December 16th, starting at 3:00 PM PST/6PM EST/midnight CET
  • Saturday December 17th, starting at noon PST/3 PM EST/21:00 PM CET

Who:

The eight teams have been divided into two groups as shown. With the new patch now playable, we hope to see a lot of Symmetra and other such meta developments. Will EnVy_Hulk be able to master Symmetra like before? Will we see Törbjorn's return, to stack his armour with Symmetra's Shield Generator? Who knows...

After the disappointing MSI MGA event, we expect the teams to be as eager as ever to bring their best. Tune in to watch teams such as RiseNation and coL prove that they can brawl with the best, while NRG continues to put in the time and effort to make their new roster work.
