In less than a fortnight, NiP and Misfits will meet two North American teams, Fnatic and compLexity, to battle at DreamHack Winter for $50,000. That is, of course, if none of the four BYOC qualifier teams upset them in their run for glory. DreamHack today announced the talent that will guide you through the tournament live in Jönköping, Sweden - notably featuring the first live tournament for colour caster Robert "hexagrams" Kirkbride.
DreamHack stated in their announcement:
With a lengthy history of hosting, Soe will be taking on the mantle as panel host! MrX, Jason Kaplan, Ubershouts, ZP, and Hexagrams will be joining Soe in bringing the broadcast to life, both in game and out of game, as they are performing casting/analyst roles throughout the championship. Their varying backgrounds will provide an interesting mix to the event and we are excited to work with familiar and new faces!
- Panel Host: Soe

The talent will be rotating throughout the event, with Soe joined by alternating analysts on the desk and matches cast by a variety of duos.
The main event of the DreamHack Winter Overwatch Championship kicks off November 25th, and will be broadcast live on the DreamHack Overwatch Twitch channel.
