ELEAGUE finals to be broadcast on Twitter tonight

The semi finals and grand final of ELEAGUE will be broadcast live on Twitter over the weekend.

The social network will host the full stream of all three matches from across the final weekend. The stream will host the observer feed of the event, meaning panel segments with on air talent will remain exclusive to US TV broadcaster TBS. The same stream can also be found on Twitch.

The first semi final kicks off at 10pm UK time tonight, with the second following straight after that. The grand final will then take place tomorrow, July 30th, at 9pm UK time.

Virtus Pro, mousesports, Natus Vincere and Fnatic are the four remaining teams in the competition, having come through the group stage and the playoffs to reach this last hurdle. The winner will walk away with $390,000.
