We wanted give recognition to our community for all the hard work they've put into setting up their own Onward League, and for the championship which took place last weekend. The Onward Master League has been going for around 11 months and currently has 32 teams from across the globe! We remain continually impressed with the tactics, strategy and of course skill coming from the Onward competitive community. To these teams, and all of the people involved in running the Master League, we want to congratulate them for their fantastic jobs and for helping the Onward community remain one of the best communities in VR! You guys are awesome.
Congratulations are of course in order for the league team Beginners who were crowned the victors of the championship this past weekend. They put up an excellent fight to take down Globochem in a final 4-1 victory on Downfall1. To quote NightFiree (one of the casters from the weekend): "It was a spectacular match between two well trained and practiced teams. The strategies were clearly developed and a joy to watch go into action!".
We were thrilled to see the first iteration of our spectating/casting setup in action over the weekend with some fantastic use and commentary from all of the casters, who provided incredible coverage for the matches. See the links below for the casting footage from the weekend using our new setup.
