Introducing the Teams
While there still isn't a lot known about the Showdown Competators, the Dragon Ball Legends community and official site have done so much to provide information on who we will be rooting for (and betting on) in Vegas.
Here's a summary of what we know so far about the Competators.
Special thanks to u/fakegaythrowaway3001 and the Showdown official coverage site as this guide's sources.
