Fireside Casts will be hosting their Cam's Cup Highlander tournament starting this Friday, April 17, @ 3:30PM EDT! The event honors a North American community member that recently passed away. Featuring 12 teams of 9 players, captains will gather to do a live draft the day before matches. The 12 teams will then be sorted into three divisions relevant to the teams' assumed skill levels and will be playing in a double elimination best-of-1 bracket.

On Friday, viewers can watch the live draft where captains will pick players to be on their respective teams. Then on Saturday and Sunday match coverage of the cup begins, featuring commentary from new and old faces alike!

Be sure to tune in and catch all the action! More details can be found on their Discord server.
