On October 25 and 26, GamersOrigin, in coproduction with Ogaming and in partnership with E-sport 42, invite you to join us on stream for the biggest ever world class Hearthstone tournament: the GamersOrigin Cup#2. Nearly 500 players are expected for this unprecedented event in Paris. The organizers, GamersOrigin and O’gaming are two well-knowned french organizations with proven expertise in major video game events.

 

During 2 days, the players will fight their way through the brackets to try to take a piece of the 6000€ cashprize home. Renowned participants such as the defending champion Savjz and fellow competitors GreenSheep, Lowelo, Thefishou, ThijsNL, Ek0p or Xixo will have to prove themselves once again against half a thousand players eager to take them down.

 

The whole tournament will be hosted live by Amaz along with Gnimsh who’ll be interviewing players on site. The stream will begin at 1:00 PM Paris time (7:00 AM EDT, 4:00 AM PDT) on day 1 and 1:00 PM Paris time (8:00 AM EDT, 5:00 AM PDT due to european time change) on day 2 and will feature show matches and special guests in addition to the main tournament commentary.
