Hi folks,
Wanted to pop over to post an update about the Overwatch tournament to be held at FLan.
Currently Overwatch registration is limited to 6 teams but will certainly increase should the need arise. The tournament will be run with standard competitive rules (1 hero limit, no 2cp maps). The prize pool is currently TBD, depending on how many tournament tickets are sold as FLan is completely crowdfunded via donations and ticket sales. The campaign has already raised enough money to pay for the venue for both days so all donations and sales from here on out go into the prize pool.
FLan 2016 will take place on the weekend of August 13th and 14th at the Doubletree Hotel & Convention Center in Miami, FL. The venue is about a 10 minute ride from Miami International Airport and the hotel offers a free shuttle service. It is a BYOC event so please keep that in mind when purchasing a tournament ticket. If you purchase a ticket and later on realize you can't make it please feel free to message me on BNet or Steam and I will be able to assist you with the refund process.
There are plenty of thank-you gifts for donors and there will be raffle prizes at the event such as a LAN-ready (Small Form Factor) PC, a Nintendo Wii, and some neat goodies donated by the awesome folks over at Sloth E-Sports.
More information regarding the venue/hotel and the overall event itself can be found on our site at http://FLan.TF and our donation/ticket page can be viewed at http://FLan.TF/Campaign.
I'm really excited to have Overwatch included at FLan and I very much look forward to meeting fellow players there.
