Recently, Battlefy put on a series of community tournaments across League of Legends and Overwatch that were sponsored by HTC. On Monday, we discovered that there were discrepancies between the prizing promised and prizing to be received. HTC only committed two Vives to the event to be raffled off randomly between all entrants, not one for every individual winner. We immediately contacted the three teams who entered and won under the assumption that they would win a Vive headset to explain the situation.

Over the past 48 hours, HTC and Battlefy have worked tirelessly to correct this issue. We have good news. HTC and Battlefy will ship all 16 winners Vive headsets to respect the competitors’ time and achievement in the tournaments. HTC has been a tremendous supporter of the esports community and we would like to thank them for always having the players’ interest at heart.

In addition, the upcoming community nights sponsored by HTC are canceled. We regret that this miscommunication led to such an unfortunate situation and hope that this solution will fairly reimburse the players involved.
