Battle of the Backseat Tournament: Chapter Two

Building on the success of last year’s Battle of the Backseat Tournament: Opening Chapter (€400 prize), which featured Owen’s victory over Lemmy in a thrilling final cast live by The Survivalist, we’ve refined the format to make it more streamlined by limiting the number of players. This year, we’re also proud to present six unique, handcrafted maps created exclusively for us by Pwner of Souls, the creator of Empire Craft Mod.

Lower ELO players will have the unique opportunity to be paired with a highly skilled High ELO player, known as the Backseater.

These Backseaters will provide guidance in voice channels throughout all matches, working together with their partners to aim for a spot in the Grand Final.
