Tug of War: Dire - Day 1 schedule

The Awakening of the Ancient will take place on May 28, and Dire will receive not one, but two champions at once on June 2! No circle rounds and boring group stages. The innovative format will divide applicants from America and Asia into two independent Single Elimination brackets. A dozen seasoned teams will meet in a battles of each bracket.
