PogChamps returns: xQc, Tyler1, QTCinderella, more to star in next big streamer chess spectacle
After teasing the event earlier in July, Chess.com has now locked in both the schedule and planned participants for PogChamps 5. The event will be bringing its full star-studded cast to bear to showcase the trials and tribulations of content creators-turned-amateur chess competitors from July 26 to Aug. 18, with a live finals set to close out the spectacle.
PogChamps 5 is set to be a two-week tournament billed as “the most exciting amateur event in chess” and will feature popular streamers in a battle of wits on the sixty-four squares “where insane blunders and on-screen agony are part of the fun.”
