The sold out Overwatch League Grand Final is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday and Bud Light is getting in on that action.

They are bringing a payload truck to Lot A, and it’s full of beer. But you can’t get the beer until fans show up to move the truck to Lot G.

Allow me to explain:

  1. in Overwatch, one of the game modes is called “escort”
  2. the attacking team has to move a “payload” from start to finish on a defined path
  3. the defending team has to prevent the “payload” from getting to the finish line
  4. the payload moves only if you have a numerical advantage around it

Make sense, right? The truck moves if you kill a bunch of enemies, or it stops if they kill you. So you gotta light up those bastards, then crowd around the truck and watch it roll.

More Bud Light info via press release:

Bud Light is calling on at least 100 fans to meet at Wells Fargo Center to assist in moving the payload from Lot A to Lot G on Sunday, September 29. Until the payload has been successfully moved, beer will not be served at the Wells Fargo Center.

Fans 21+ looking to participate in the payload move are encouraged to meet the team at 10:30AM in Lot A – once 100 fans have arrived the payload may start to move; and just like the game, the more fans there to help the faster the payload moved. Along with fans, local Philadelphia and Overwatch icons will be a part of the crew to assist moving the payload.

I’m not sure if the beer is free or what the deal is with that. I emailed the folks and we’ll see what they have to say.

But one thing is for sure; if we don’t show up and move this thing, we ain’t getting the Bud Light. So I better see y’all there.

(edit: no free beer, we gotta move this thing and then they’ll sell it to us in the arena)
