Not every game naturally develops and esports scene, but if you’re a space dwarf, perhaps you can just forge one yourself – which appears to be the case with the newly announced Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor – Ultimate Challenge Invitationals.

Unveiled today by release, the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor – Ultimate Challenge Invitationals, or DRGSUCI for short will pit content creators from around the world against each other in a competitive Deep Rock Galactic experience like nothing else.

With appropriately dwarfy in-universe governing bodies reportedly organizing this event, such as the ‘International Dwarven Athletics Association’ and broadcast by the Ghost Ship Sports Network (named after the game’s developer), the event seems to not be taking itself too seriously, which is refreshing to hear from any game dipping its toes in esports. The winner of the events will even take home a custom made heavyweight championship belt on top of forever being known as the best and toughest Dwarf Survivor there is.

The tournament kicks off on Nov. 4, 17:00 CET and can be viewed on the official Ghost Ship Twitch and YouTube channels. The tournament format will see players take on missions in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, challenged by “Mutators” which will change how each mission plays out.

The Invitationals will be broadcast from Ghost Ship Games’ headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark and will reportedly feature live commentary and detailed on-field analysis from DRG experts and correspondents in the field.

Deep Rock Galactic is the high popular team survival shooter by Ghost Ship Games, and is one of the best crossplay games on Xbox Game Pass. The game challenges a group of four dwarves to survive against a ravenous hoard of bugs and mine precious minerals . Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a spin-off game from the original that puts players in an isometric survival situation with the familiar classes from the main game.

Released into early access earlier this year Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is set to add new mutator modes which will be showcased in the DRGSUCI esports event, so it’s the perfect time to pick it up.
