This is gonna get ugly tbh. Russia is just vastly superior.

To all my fellow esport posting buddies, getting this started now as I have a few errands before the match starts. Get your picks in!

Russia isn’t gonna drop a map here I don’t think.

I’m guessing we don’t get tokens for watching the world cup? :o

Unfortunately there are no known rewards for viewing world cup matches.

You beat me to it Wyoming! I was just about to start creating my post for this.

Are we doing a new thread for each game, or split it into Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3?

10

New post each match.

11

At least we will see 5 matches per country and more games per day, so the teams have plenty chances to really show what they got.

12

I just want some good Overwatch, like USA vs SK Hanamura last year good. That could be the best OW I’ve ever seen.

I’m looking to see who’s casting the first game but it doesn’t look like that info’s out yet. Interested to see how Jake does on his first day on the job.
