Blitzkrieg Masters Amsterdam 2018 - All you need to know

As you are all aware, Battalion 1944 is a competitive title which got its start within the past year, determined to rise as a new esport to fill the void which classic shooters such as Call of Duty 2 left behind. With that being said, GMR has been incredibly supportive in the scene of the new title, ranging from events, online tournaments with our partners Gallantry and also Interviews with players. It's now time for the title's first major event of its lifetime, through the Blitzkrieg Masters Amsterdam 2018; $50,000 and the top Battalion 1944 competition in the world. 

The event is uniting global Battalion 1944 talent through online qualifiers across the European and North American regions. A total of 16 teams will be determined from the rounds of qualifiers, with the final round of European qualifiers occurring from the 18th to the 19th of August. These online qualifiers have been going on since July to cater for the massive amount of teams attempting to qualify; to fit in the 12 spots near the Wildcard Teams. The $30,000 for the winning team is an extremely persuasive prize. 

So why are we, GMR Interested? Apart from the fact that we're supporters of the growing title of Battalion 1944, we are ready to help out with the organization of the European qualifiers and also by providing a stable platform for players and teams to check their stats and scout what other teams are doing. So much so, that we're planning on interviewing all 16 teams taking part in the event - including the likes of Team Demise, Pure Gaming, Endpoint and Comrade Gaming. We'll be keeping a close eye on the event, providing you all with the most recent and relevant news. 

The online portion of the event is soon to be concluded. After that, the remaining teams will gather at the Esports Gaming Arena in Amsterdam for the real competition between the 27th and 30th of September.
