How It Works
Day 1: All 16 players are divided into two separate lobbies, with each lobby completing three matches on Saturday. Following each match, players will be awarded points based on finish, with 7 points going to 1st place, 6 for 2nd, decreasing to 0 for 8th place. At the end of the matches, the top four players from each lobby based on total points earned will advance to the Sunday Top 8.
Day 2: The Top 8 will compete in an ongoing Check format until a winner is crowned. Points will be earned each match the same as Day 1, but to win someone has to earn a minimum of 20 points and then secure a 1st place match victory. Only with both conditions met will a player be able to walk away from the first Battlegrounds: Lobby Legends with the championship and $10,000 in prizing.

A Battlegrounds tournament for streamers without the most viewed Battlegrounds streamer? Kind of makes me think that Kripparian decided that Battlegrounds E-sports is an incredibly silly idea and kindly rejected the offer.
100% AGREE
kripp loves battlegrounds
No packs no watching
if there are no drops there are no viewers
Kinda curios how many viewers this can get. Standard tournaments get around 6k viewers with both channels combined.
Maybe this one could get 10k, who knows.
I'm curious as well, but mainly to see if it goes in the opposite direction, especially considering there are no
bribesdrops to entice people tolet it run muted in the backgroundwatch.I personally don't understand the appeal of Battlegrounds, playing OR watching, but different people like different things so who knows?
Well, 1,3k viewers
Basically, almost nobody watched this.
We did.
Was fun :)
I never thought that competitive BG could ever really work. Its a fun mode to play casually but there is way too much RNG involved, even more than the card game.
Really BG with selected heroes? You cant even go further away from the real BG game where you have to deal with what you get.
Packs where?
No drops so i'm not interested, especially not in a battlegrounds stream.
thats what i dont get , just give us 1-2 free packs with drops and they would easily get 5-10k additional viewer and push the channel/bgs
That greed
