Athletes spend a lifetime training for a moment like this.
Years of practice. Endless hours of honing kiting skills, tightening fast-twitch reflexes, building a master’s touch for baiting a Dreadnought into a supply pod.
All this, to get to the place where champions are forged: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals.
What is the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals?
Put simply, it’s the absolute pinnacle of sporting competition. Presented by the Ghost Ship Sports Network in cooperation with the Interplanetary Dwarven Athletics Association (IDAA), the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals are a live broadcast Esports event, pitting players head-to-head for the highest score in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, as you may know, is the rogue-like auto-shooter spinoff of the original Deep Rock Galactic. It’s one dwarf, solo, against the infinite alien hordes of Hoxxes. Developed by Funday Games and published by Ghost Ship Publishing, the game just released their big Update 04, which introduces a new biome, a scoring system, and a whole hosts of ramped-up mutators and lethal challenges.
To mark the occasion, we’re making it the center of this groundbreaking esports event: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals. We’ll be broadcasting live from the Ghost Ship Games HQ in Copenhagen, with live play-by-play commentary from our extremely qualified sports journalists and splitscreen coverage of all the action as it unfolds in this head-to-head single elimination tournament.
Expect adrenaline. Expect groundbreaking sports journalism. Expect nothing short of the greatest, most professionally-produced sports experience in recorded history: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals.
Is this a joke? No. Sort of. We’ve lost track. But we are sure of one thing: We’re going live on Monday, November 4th at 17:00 CET.
Who’s competing in the Invitationals?
For this year’s Invitationals, we’ve brought in eight content creators, all of them well-versed in Deep Rock Galactic and DRG: Survivor. On Monday, November 4th, they’ll be competing head to head in our single elimination tournament, to make it to the finals and claim the title of World Heavyweight Champion.
This year’s competitors are:
- Idlecub
- Javarak Gaming
- ThisTofu
- Explorian (fka DRG Historian)
- Sniss
- Rexalicious
- TBA
- TBA
These eight contestants will be assigned via random matchup for the Invitational’s four qualifier rounds. In each round, competitors will be playing head-to-head in a pre-seeded match on Hazard 5 difficulty. The player with the highest score will advance to the next stage of the tournament bracket, and eventually on to the finals – but only one can be the true champion.
What’s at stake?
Nothing short of the most coveted trophy in sports history: the DRG: Survivor World Heavyweight Champion title belt.
Handcrafted with authentic Glyphid leather and gold plating harvested directly from Hoxxes, the championship title is a symbol of dwarven fortitude, strength, and enduring spirit. It’s graced the waists of many proud miners – and this year, at the Ultimate Challenge Invitationals, it’s going home with one of the eight competitors.
