FragPunk Twitch Rivals scores and standings

A week after Bad Guitar Studios’ FragPunk launched officially, its first official esports event, in collaboration with Twitch, is all set to go live. If you’re looking to catch up on the details, scores, standings, and more for the FragPunk Twitch Rivals event, we’ve got you covered.

FragPunk’s familiar five-versus-five tac shooter experience has been described as “rule-breaking,” mostly due its unique Shard Cards mechanic. Before a round commences, your team chooses a card to set a rule—the enemy team gets the same privilege. Besides the card setting a general combat rule, you also get weapons and Lancers with different abilities to wield against enemies and meet your objective. As you can imagine, FragPunk’s a highly competitive game with a lot of possibilities, so there’s immense potential for players to get creative.

Since it’s a new title, you’re probably looking for ideas to recreate in your FragPunk games, and what’s a better source of ideas than watching your favorite pros fight for the top spot in a Showdown match and exciting prize money? Well, the FragPunk x Twitch Rivals Launch Showdown will definitely give you what you’re looking for.
