What is the Gamescom Invitational

80 of some of the game’s best players, online influencers and people in attendance at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany will take place in a variety of competitive modes in the game’s first-ever LAN event. The tournament will run from August 23 to August 26, with $350,000 USD filling up the prize pool. The tournament itself will last four days and will include gameplay modes such as Solo Mode, Duo Mode, Duo First-Person Perspective and Squad Mode. After three matches, the best overall scores will determine the winners of each type.

How were the influencers chosen

"There were players who were picked based on their skills and some were picked because of their contribution to our community." [1]

Where can this event be seen

Coverage of the tournament will go live on Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Mixer, Panda Tv and Twitter at 4 p.m. CEST, meaning it will begin at 10 a.m. EDT each day.

Content creators can livestream from their own game station/booth.

Not allowed

All PC's are on 'Textures - High' & 'Foliage - Medium' settings, players/contestants can not change them.

Crouch jumping is allowed, but players can not double keybind. For example, they have to use 1 keybind (Space-bar or whatever they normally like) to jump out of a window instead of double keybinding (Shift + Space bar) to jump out of a window faster.

Players can not have any stream open nor stream chat.

Note: These aren't all the rules.
