Overwatch League commentator Christopher ‘MonteCristo’ Mykles and analyst Brennon ‘Bren’ Hook exchanged shots on Twitter ahead of the Overwatch League All-Stars event.

The two are set to go head-to-head in-game at the event, competing for opposite teams in the “Talent Takedown” match.

The main focus of the All-Stars event will of course be the various showdowns between the Atlantic and Pacific Division teams, culminating in a competitive best-of-five between the two star-studded rosters.

The event will also see members of the Overwatch League talent team take to the server, however, with each Division having drafted a roster of casters and analysts for a competitive best-of-three match.

On the Pacific Division team, MonteCristo will play alongside Johnathon ‘Reinforce’ Larsson, Alberto ‘Crumbz’ Rengifo, Soe ‘Soembie’ Gschwind-Penski, Auguste ‘Semmler’ Massonnat, Chris Puckett, and Robert ‘Hexagrams’ Kirkbride.

Meanwhile, representing the Atlantic Division will be Bren, Josh ‘SideShow’ Wilkinson, Malik Forté, Alex ‘Goldenboy’ Mendez, Matt ‘Mr.X’ Morello, Eric ‘DoA’ Lonnquist, and Mitch ‘Uber’ Leslie.

Both teams have of course been hyping up the match with some posturing on Twitter, and Bren and MonteCristo clashed after Bren took a shot at the majority of the Pacific team.
