Thursday 22nd February 2018, 08:45 | written by: Gabriel SciberrasThe developers of Battalion 1944 have proudly announced their first ever official LAN event for the title on an international scale and we're more than excited to share the details with all of you. There is quite a large amount of pressure on this event, with expectations to fulfill - the first event is always one of the more difficult ones. With that being said, let's learn more about the Blitzkrieg Open Championship at Insomnia62.
Assuming part of the UK Masters at Insomnia62, Battalion 1944 will be present amongst other competitive titles and scene. Sponsored by "The Plays" as well as "Belong" by Game to rack up a total prize pool of roughly $13,000 after converting it from the British pound. Having an Open nature, this championship looks to be astronomically large, as 500 team tickets are patiently waiting to be bought online. Contesting teams will have the opportunity to battle it out on The Player Stage in the Grand Final of the event. Note that only the first four places will be awarded prize money, so the stakes are high to take home a sizable chunk. Apart from the prize money, the winning team will be given a Custom Gold Weapon Skin which is 1 of a kind, and also tradable. Other details such as casting talent and scheduling will be released eventually.
This event will take place on the weekend of March 30th up to April 2nd, bang in the middle of the Easter holidays. This LAN at Insomnia62 is only 1 of 4 which are planned for this year of Battalion 1944, with North America being targeted also.
