Duracell Presents the “Longest Lasting” Tournament

Duracell presents the “Longest Lasting” tournament, a 26-hour non-stop Madden NFL 15 marathon hosted on Twitch.

Basically, Duracell has these awesome new rechargeable batteries. They’re going to put these batteries to the ultimate test by putting them into the game controllers used on the stage and NEVER CHANGING THEM for 26 hours. This show of power has us positively charged. (Hold for laughter.)

This tournament invites gamers like you to compete against “Team Duracell”, which will be comprised of NFL pros — such as Arian Foster (Houston Texans), Maurice Jones-Drew (Oakland Raiders), and Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers) — and eight pro gamers.

The player who holds the longest win-streak at the end of the 26-hour tournament could win a Super Bowl prize package that includes two tickets to Super Bowl XLIX. You can pre-register at www.DuracellTournament.com starting on 1/8, or you can join the day of the event by logging in and entering yourself into a player queue.
