Fangs Announces Guinsoo’s Gauntlet for NA & Europe
On 30th November, Fangs, the much-awaited multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, was officially released into Early Access. Hidden Leaf Games thanked the community for its support and noted that Fangs would not be where it is today if not for the community’s love and encouragement. To commemorate this, Fangs announced Guinsoo’s Gauntlet, an early access tournament for prominent streamers in North America (NA) and Europe (EU) on 3rd December. This tournament will feature streamers and content creators going up against each other in the first-ever Fangs Invitational.
Hidden Leaf Games wrote, “Get ready for GUINSOO’S GAUNTLET—the Fangs tournament that will test the limits of the most skilled content creators in the community!”
