Battle on the High Seas: Esports on a real Battleship, on Twitch June 26

Breakaway’s hitting the high seas with the Royal Dutch Navy, Red Bull Esports, and AMD, as teams from Echo Fox and Rogue prepare to face off in the first-ever esports match (at least, that we’ve heard of!) on a battleship at sea.

Check out the announcement video (above), which shows exactly what it’d be like to play Breakaway on a friggin’ frigate. Okay, so maybe not exactly, but the whole thing is so silly it sort of works. That or the Dutch Navy has some downtime.

Set sail and tune in on Monday, June 26th at 12 PM Pacific Time on the Red Bull Esports Twitch channel to watch the exhibition match between Echo Fox and Rogue. Stay tuned for more details closer to the event!

If esports on a warship isn’t enough for you to tune in, there’s also a chance to win some serious gaming hardware and Rogue is running a sweepstakes with multiple ways to win one of four screamin’ fast AMD Ryzen CPUs, plus a whole bunch of Breakaway Alpha keys. Check out the full sweepstakes details here.
