Now that MLG is behind us and we have some more down time between major events and fresh seasons of team leagues starting up Clarity will be hosting it's second Academy Showdown!
A few weeks back we challenged Complexity’s Academy and they answered the call in stride. The series went all the way to game nine with quite a few epic series from start to finish. At the end of it all Clarity was able to pull out the win 5-4 after going up 4-0 at the start.
For our second Showdown we have been extended a challenge to Quantic Gaming’s Academy and are happy to say they’ve accepted! We are very excited to test our strength against their solid roster and see if Clarity can take home another win.
We’re putting up $100 for every showmatch just to raise the stakes a bit. Tune in for this match on Saturday 7/13 at 9PM EST for the showmatch. It will be cast and covered by our very own Wyrd and ZombieGrub! You will find all of the details below.
These showdowns will be recurring to some extent, but not on any particular, set schedule. Our next opponent is already being scheduled. If you’re interested in challenging us, we would be more than happy to oblige. Feel free to shoot an email over to: clarityacademy@gmail.com if you would like any more information or would like to set something up!
