Hulktastic Cup set to take place this Saturday

HulkTastic Cup

In the short time since the passing of INTERNETHULK, a charity tournament has already been put together under his name. The HulkTastic Cup will be played this Saturday at 20:00 CET / 14:00 EST / 11:00 PST. Additionally, there is a GoFundMe page to ensure his family has what they need during this time. INTERNETHULK's family has expressed that they will only take any money raised if they absolutely need it, otherwise the money will go to a charity of their choice.

The tournament will be played on the PTR rather than the live version, meaning Moira will be available, Mercy will be nerfed, and Ana will be buffed. Matches will be best-of-threes in a single elimination tournament format. The event will be streamed on GosuGamers' Overwatch Twitch channel: twitch.tv/gosutv_ow.

While closed signups are still ongoing, several notable teams have already formed to play in the tournament. Most of the tournament will be made up of mixes, although multiple active teams have signed up and even several teams that have long been disbanded will be getting back together for the day. Several players on Overwatch League teams will also be participating, some of which will be doing so alongside their new teammates.

I say that more in a way if he had an opportunity to celebrate another player's life in such a way, he would. He was one of the good people in OW, someone who a lot of people looked up to.

Actually impressive how he's still pulling the crazy plays after being inactive for so long. It's a for fun tournament obviously, but still impressive.

Also Arc6 remain kings of koth, their clutch potential is insane.

GGs, tournament was fun to watch.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of this tournament tonight.

This sentiment has been echoed by so many but I'll have to say it again: it's beyond amazing how the community has come together to remember and celebrate HULK along with raising money to help support his family. What an utter delight of an evening.

Peace and love to you all <3

Just wanted to say that I've been actively watching nearly every competitive Overwatch match broadcast in english since the Atlantic Showdown qualifiers, and I've never felt as connected to the whole competitive OW community as I did today in remembrance of Hulk. This was an amazing event and I'm glad we could give back to his family in their time of need.

edit: Also while I'm sappily giving thanks, over.gg is by far my #1 site for keeping up with everything in the OW world so, thanks to everyone who makes this site tick.
