October 29, 2020 TCO20 Marathon Match Finals: A Preview of What’s to Come!

TCO20 Marathon Finals are coming…! 

The 2020 Topcoder Open Marathon Match Finals will be taking place virtually for a marathon of a 24 hour round (pun intended).

With five time Marathon Champion, Psyho, making a comeback after 3 years, he will be up against the two time reigning champion tourist, who won both TCO18 and TCO19 Marathon Championships, as well as the TCO19 Algorithm Championship. 

While Psyho vs tourist will be the talk of the town for the next two weeks, one should not rule out CatalinT and nika as they were in prime form, winning two marathons each in the stage they qualified from. 

With the exception of vdave, every finalist has been TCO Marathon Finalist before, but vdave has the experience of being around and competing on Marathon Matches since MM 1. He will surely be giving a tough fight

Also with experience of several TCOs, 100s of marathon matches and numerous Top 10 finishes over the years the veterans wleite, tomerun, blackmath, Davier19, Milanin, and sullyper can beat everyone any day. I have no doubts that this will be the best Marathon Final we have ever had.

Want to see all the finalists? Definitely check out the list and their interviews here.

We will be live broadcasting the finals during the first and the last hour for the match on Youtube and Hopin. Please check out the entire event schedule here and register now to not miss it.
