Everything to know about the Marvel Rivals Invitational (North America)

It didn't take long for esports events to start popping up in the latest hero shooter from NetEase. We've seen the in-game tournament mode with players thriving. And now, full-fledged organizations are taking part in a North America-based Marvel Rivals Invitational.

Four teams join the party to show off just how esports ready the title is. Taking place just before the holidays, we've got everything you need to know about the event. This includes who is participating, how to watch it, and more.

There is a mix of prominent and up and coming organizations taking part in the event. Here's a list of the four teams involved:

The teams will do battle in a double-elimination bracket to determine a winner.

Since it is double elimination, teams will be seeded into two quarterfinal matches. Losers go down to face each other, with the winner of that facing off against the loser of the first two winners' match. And then boom, we have our double elimination Grand Final.

Each team in their matches gets to ban two heroes and lock one hero throughout the series. When it comes to matches, it is randomized with a second match onward having a focus on using a separate map from previous ones.

That means we'll likely see a solid mix of Domination, Convoy, and Convergence modes on a variety of maps. There is also a sizeable prize pool. Here's the breakdown:

The game has a built-in spectator mode for its tournaments, but it is unknown if you can use that for this. It will be broadcast on the official Marvel Rivals Twitch channel, though. And that is embedded below so you can watch along with us.
