[drupal=817]Brink Competition Round-up: The First Two Weeks[/drupal]


Welcome to an all-new series of community-penned blog entries here on the site, letting you get a regular look at the competitive side of Brink. Put together by the crew over at Brink TV, it’ll cover what’s happening in the eSports scene for the game, including upcoming tournaments and exhibition matches, as well as shoutcasts and Brink TV’s ever-growing video on demand library. Take it away, guys!
We’ve survived the first two weeks since our veins were first pumped full of Brink goodness. The game and the community are growing stronger each day. Below, you’ll find a quick summary of some events Brink TV hosted with the hope of kicking off the competitive scene and nearly a dozen upcoming tournaments and events already planned and underway by other organizations, including ESL (EU) and National ESL (NA)'s maiden forays into Brink that bring over $25,000 in combined prizes to the table. This roundup focuses quite a bit on our project, Brink TV, but that’s only because we were crazy enough to run events from day 1. In future updates, Matt and I will try to round up the news that keeps everyone on the edge of Brink’s competitive scene.

i finally made it through the 5v5 tournament. it was pretty fun to watch. there was a lot of downtime between matches, but, that being said, there was a ton of action! haha you guys are great! i look forward to more vids and your contribution to the game and community!

@weeschwee - While a bit delayed because of the sheer amount of work it’s taken to organize and run these early events in the first two weeks of release, I will have HQ VODs posted to our youtube channel soon that, among other things, are edited such that downtime between matches is removed.

Nice work. I’ve enjoyed your streams, especially given what game you’re working with.
