BlockChamps Will Feature the Virtual Minecraft World

BlockChamps is happening this Saturday (Jan 16th) at 10 am PT! It will feature top Minecraft content creators like GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap and others, as well as amazing Twitch streamers such as Pokimane and LilyPichu. The tournament format will be an 8-player single elimination bracket with $25k prize fund on the line! 

BlockChamps will be played on chess.com and broadcasted on twitch.tv/botezlive with Andrea and me serving as hosts. But on top of the official coverage, in spirit of connecting Minecraft and Chess communities, we will also create the Minecraft server that will feature a huge chessboard. All BlockChamps games will be transmitted to this server in real-time!  

It will be possible thanks to Cosmic Guard, a premium internet provider offering custom networking solutions! Check them out at: https://cosmicguard.com/
