Den engelske eSportspromoter Gfinity har afsløret, at Rocket League får selskab af Counter-Strike: Global Offensive og Street Fighter V i deres Challenger Series og Elite Series, konkurrencer hvor amatører kan konkurrere på et professionelt niveau.
Registreringen for Challenger Series er åben lige nu for alle, og dem der klarer sig godt kan kvalificere sig til Elite Draft. Det giver dem en chance for at komme ind i Elite Series sammen med otte professionelle eSportshold. Challenger Series åbnede i forgårs, og kører ti uger fremadrettet i Londons Gfinity Arena.
"Gfinity has always been about the gamers and the signing of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Street Fighter V and Rocket League will guarantee the very best action and entertainment for those playing and watching the Elite Series. There is tremendous, world-class competitive gaming talent in the UK, and the Gfinity Elite Series is going to provide the platform for this talent to showcase their skills to the world. We want more gamers playing harder and better at the top level to showcase new home-grown talent to existing pro teams and ultimately pave the way for more UK pro teams being formed that can go on and compete at global events. The Gfinity Elite Series brings world-class-level competition to the UK and is set to be the pinnacle esports event in the UK." siger Neville Upton, CEO for Gfinity.
