Happy Game Day everybody! In case you missed it, the top eight teams of Stay Plugged In's Turbo Tuesday have qualified for today's Summer Series Invitational presented by Coca-Cola. They are as follows:
Doodle Bangers - 606 Points
GnS - 412 Points
Stellar - 290 Points
Funky Bois - 220 Points
1Thousand Voices - 180 Points
RegimentGG - 180 Points
Humphrey Gang - 171 Points

We are set to kick off tonight's first round of action at 7 pm ET tonight on the Stay Plugged In main Twitch channel. I've already given my thoughts on the teams above in my previous Turbo Tuesday article found here. Now, I figure the best way to go over some of the key players to watch in the Invitational is to announce our 2022 end-of-season player award nominees.
