Interesting 2v2 tourny where the audience can influence the game through popular vote by summoning nukes, indestructible creatures, etc. Never sat through any of these streams before, no idea how entertaining it's going to be but it may be promising.

Starts 6pm PT, continues through saturday.

since when did red bull sponsor video games?

I didn't know, either.
But I did know that they sponsored all kinds of sports events, to the point of having their own F1 team(s). I don't know why do they overkill so much, not even Coca-Cola does anything like that.

Since they realized monster pretty much has the xXxHARDC0RE SP0RTSxXx market cornered.

This was a good idea on paper. It sounded like a lot of fun.

Howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

It was executed really poorly, and the games were pretty uninteresting to watch. The competitive aspect just disappeared completely when whomever was in the lead would consistently get nuked or something similar.

So, like Mario Kart.
