Multiplay has confirmed that an Overwatch tournament is returning to Insomnia.
The Overwatch Open will take place at i60 from April 14th to 16th at the Birmingham NEC, featuring a £2,500 prize pool.
The pool will rise to £3,750 if 16 teams take part, or £5,000 if a minimum of 32 teams sign up to participate.
It has also confirmed a £3,000 Rocket League Open.
Multiplay said in a statement: “We aim to accommodate all skill levels by running a group stage from which teams are sorted into either a Pro or Intermediate bracket so you can enjoy Overwatch all weekend at a skill level that suits you.”
