AUTOSHOW LAUNCHES eSPORT MOTORSPORT GAMING COMPETITION
eSport Gaming, the online global phenomenon reaching
millions of competitors, fans and viewers worldwide, will make its debut at The
Canadian International AutoShow in 2018.
Supported by partners BMW, Xbox, Republic of Gamers, ASUS Canada, Canada
Computer & Electronics and MediaXP, more than 330,000 annual AutoShow
attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an eSports motorsport
gaming competition that will award over $10,000 dollars in cash and prizes.
eSport Gaming has become a worldwide spectacle with many major sports
franchises starting their own teams, and arenas being filled with gamer
enthusiasts to cheer on their new breed of sporting heroes. Even Formula One
has developed its own mirror Championship for gamers that runs alongside its
traditional Grand Prix race events.
“eSports is one of the newest and fastest growing platforms that brands, sports
franchises and race organizers are using to engage young audiences” said
AutoShow General Manager Jason Campbell.
“We had tremendous enthusiasm from our partners for this
initiative, which I’m sure will see this feature be one of the talking points
at the Show and likely expanded in future years. We’d like to thank
Republic of Gamers - ASUS Canada as well as leading Canadian eSport production
team MediaXP for getting this initiative off the ground,” said AutoShow’s
eSport organizer, Juliana Chiovitti.
Speeding into action on opening day (Friday, February 16th, at noon), the eSports Arena is open to gamers of all ages and skill levels wishing to compete for glory in Forza Motorsport 7, the premiere racing game on the Xbox One platform.
Using select BMW vehicles on a collection of tracks in a ‘King of the Track’ daily competition format, the quickest driver on each day of the AutoShow will be invited back to the Grand Finale on Sunday, February 25th, to compete for thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.
Located on Level 700, Room 715 A / B inside the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the eSport motorsport competition area will also host “Free-to-Play” stations operated by Canada Computer & Electronics, Republic of Gamers and Xbox while AutoShow attendees wait to participate on 1-of-10 competition computers.
All eSport enthusiasts interested in participating in the motorsport competition or trying their hand at qualifying for the Grand Finale must purchase an AutoShow ticket either online (www.autoshow.ca/tickets) or at the show.
Daily streaming of the competition will be available online at: www.autoshow.ca/esport
