The Finals has a Twitch Rivals event, which surprisingly marks its very first official competitive tournament.
Embark Studios has been making The Finals more and more esports friendly. It has private matches, a one-life mode, and gameplay fitting of a competitive FPS. Yet it still hasn't received official esports support, until now with The Finals Twitch Rivals.
While tournaments have popped on competitive gaming platforms, there hasn't been anything we can deem official yet. That all changes with a Twitch Rivals event featuring The Finals' signature Cashout mode for a solid prize pool.
