This mean’s it’ll be played at the start of many competitions, including the major national and international competitions. 

Check out the video here and below, and subscribe to our YouTube channel and our blog.

Also worth noting, this weekend marks the start of build season with the announcement of this year’s challenge. We already know it’ll be a game called “Power Up” and is likely to have an 80s video game theme, but the full game will become known through a worldwide broadcast on Saturday morning.

Just to note, I’m a team mentor.
