Overwatch 5v5

Our Overwatch event is moving to a regular Wednesday slot, with it potentially becoming bi-weekly depending on turnout! Don’t have a full team? No problem, we’ll be matching up players without complete teams to make sure everyone can get in on the action. We’ll be playing the regular 5v5 mode and map selection will be done via voting! - Signups are on the night from 6:30PM, with games beginning at 7PM, you can still join even if arriving later! - You may bring your own controllers/peripherals if you want - We will be using the Steam PC version of the game for ease of login - Games will run until 10PM or so, and PCs remain available afterwards - No entry fee, but you must make a purchase to take part! Winning teams will get a little soju on the house, and depending on sign up numbers we may do a small bracket to see who’s the best in the room! See you there!
