On top of that, the event will have a main broadcast on Thijs' Twitch channel featuring Battlegrounds’ expert Slysssa, among other talents.
Thijs’ Battlegrounds TwitchCon qualifiers are divided into two days. The action starts on Friday at 3 pm CEST / 6 am PST. The final stage of the qualifiers will take place on Saturday, beginning at the same time.

Day 2 of Thijs’ Battlegrounds TwitchCon Qualifier will also feature 6 rounds of competition, but this time for all the players. After the day ends, the best 8 players will advance to the Live Finals at Thijs’ Battlegrounds Tavern in TwitchCon Amsterdam on July 16th.
One thing worth mentioning is that during both days of competitions, lobbies will be re-shuffled after each round. This means that the players will face a different field each round, helping keep things exciting.
The constructed part of Thijs’ TwitchCon Tavern was incredible, and given how popular Battlegrounds is, things can only be better. If you missed the Constructed qualifier, check our recap article to know who qualified to Amsterdam and what the players said about the event.
