The newest edition of the Pokemon Twitch Cup, which is the Pokemon Twitch Cup 3 has been announced and here is everything you need to know about it

We have to admit, that the streamers who bring the most banging events to Twitch have to be the Spanish streamers. Ever since the release of the first Pokemon Twitch Cup, it has become one of the most popular events on the platform. With Pokemon being one of the most beloved franchises worldwide, it was natural for that to happen. Now, this recognition is making the tournament come back for a third edition in 2023, the Pokemon Twitch Cup 3!

The first edition of the Pokemon Twitch Cup was held in June 2021 and the second edition was held in October 2022. The first edition was arranged by Ibai “Ibai” Llanos and Miguel “Sekiam” Torre who are both very renowned and loved Spanish streamers on Twitch, especially Ibai who is known for his boxing tournament which broke concurrent viewership records on the platform. The second edition had different creators including the old creator, Sekiam alongside Ernesto “BarbeQ” Folch and Yuste “el_yuste.” In the first edition, the tournament was held with only 16 players and the second edition saw the participants being doubled to 32. 

The official announcement for the Pokemon Twitch Cup 3 was made on February 27, 2023, on Pokemon Day by BarbeQ on his Twitter or X with the following tweet:
