Fans will simply be able to walk up to the relevant booth and choose whether to play on provided consoles or PCs for their matches, and will then get a chance to play with the professionals.

As part of the joint event, both Drew “Surfnboy” Snediker and newly signed Matthew “zensored” Stanislawski from the team’s Fortnite division will be in attendance.

Those looking to play against Overwatch professionals can expect to compete against members of Overwatch Contenders team Mayhem Academy. The entire academy team will be in attendance, which includes former Overwatch League players Russel “FCTFCTN” Campbell and Tim “Manneten” Bylund.

According to Florida Mayhem event manager Alonso “LonzPonz” Benavente, the goal of the Misfits its to try and help “develop the esports industry” by encouraging colleges to “invest and develop” an esports culture.
