It’s almost time for Prime Day 2019, and while you probably know that means there are hella deals to be had on Amazon devices, various electronics, and a slew of random stuff you only decide you need after it’s presented to you prettily on the internet, you may not have known that there are some pretty geektastic exclusives, too.
From Spongebob and Twitch tourneys to some sets from a galaxy far, far away, your nerdy lil’ heart will not want you to miss this Prime Day; well, technically Prime Days, since it’s scheduled to run from July 15-16. But, we digress.
Twitch x Prime Day
Esports players — and viewers — can tune in to two Twitch Prime Crown Cup live stream events on July 13: one featuring Apex Legends in Las Vegas, streaming at 2 p.m. EST, and one featuring EA Sports in London, streaming at 10 a.m. PT. Practice rounds will air on July 11 and 12, starting at 6 p.m. PT, live on twitch.tv/twitchprime.
Kicking off with the debut of a new single by multiple Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Murda Beatz, the Las Vegas Twitch Prime Crown Cup will be hosted by TimTheTatman, with Kevin Smith and Jay Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob) offering commentary and interviews between each match throughout the event.

Hosted by streamer Castro1021, the London event consists of four teams, each featuring a celebrity captain, a streamer, and two additional TV or sports celebrities. Each match will be two versus two. After six league matches, the top two teams will play off in a grand finale to determine a winner. Click here for more deets.
