The Flashpoint tournament is set to resume in early November after a hiatus that lasted more than six months. Among the teams that will take part – are well-known representatives of the European eSports scene, including Cloud9, Virtus.Pro, forZe, OG, BIG and fnatic. Christopher «MonteCristo» Michaels, who has been the official representative of Flashpoint since June, spoke about how the tournament will change in the near future.
According to him, the Flashpoint organizers have been trying to take into account the experience of the previous tourney to make the competition more interesting for all fans of the game. One of the main objectives of Flashpoint – is to give the competition an engaging storyline and allow viewers to follow the players' stories. The organizers are already working on creating the necessary content for this, such as recording interviews and small documentaries about the teams.
The tournament will still be held online, as most of this year's events, but this time the organizers had the opportunity to take into account the existing restrictions. They had originally planned to hold at least a playoff in the LAN format, but due to an increase in coronavirus cases in Europe, that plan had to be abandoned. Instead, they focused on creating a comfortable environment for players and maximizing the spectator experience despite the fact that matches will still be played online.
