Battle for Mission 22 - Debrief

Our June 7th Battle for Mission 22 tournament was an energetic and inspiring event for the Operation Dinks team and players alike. From high-level gameplay to community camaraderie and cause-driven passion, this event embodied everything Operation Dinks stands for and hoped it would be.

Players, spectators, and volunteers shared that this was “one of the best tournaments they’ve been to” – and we couldn’t agree more.
