RuneScape has never been a name in the competitive gaming scene, but Jagex is hoping to change this with a tournament pitting Old School’s top clans against one another. Set to take place over three days from the 24th to the 26th of July, eight teams of five players will fight in three separate competitions. The event is meant to highlight coming updates to Old School, including slayer bosses, pvp modes, and more.
“This summer, we can’t wait to adapt Old School RuneScape for the eSports community and watch teams battle their way to victory in this inaugural $10,000 competitive tournament,” said Mathew Kemp, product manager on the game. “We’re also looking forward to seeing how players tackle the unrelenting challenge of Deadman Mode later in the summer, as well as seeing how they shape up against the two new slayer boss monsters.”
Both Old School and RuneScape 3 are in the middle of a summer of updates, with players in the latter presently embroiled in a month-long world event. Stay tuned for more details.
