eSports London

In 2013, we held our first two offline events under the Gfinity name.

In 2014, we put on our first eSports event in an arena, with four games on show and over 4000 fans in attendance.

In 2015, we’re going all out.

We think it’s time that eSports is catapulted to the level of mainstream sports and next year we’re going to make that happen. We thought it’s about time to unveil the ground-breaking plans we have in store; plans that mean more eSports participation, more eSports exposure and a fantastic future for the community.

The first piece of exciting news, and one we’ve barely been able to contain, is the official announcement of the UK’s first ever dedicated eSports arena.

We thought that eSports needed its own home in the UK, so we decided to create one. Based in London, our brand new eSports arena will be a hub of competitive gaming activity, hosting live events, delivering exclusive content and allowing you, the fan, to witness it first-hand. With space for up to 500 spectators, we want YOU to come and see the heart-pounding, adrenaline-fuelled action up close and personal and over the course of the next year, you’ll be able to do just that. Tickets will be available for every arena event, more details will be released soon.

So we’ve created the home of eSports in the UK, we best fill it with some events. We listened to the community, we heard what you want and what you want is more events, taking place throughout the year. We couldn’t agree more.

Next year, we’ll be hosting a mind-blowing 30 offline events that will take place in an action packed season running from March to September. The season will culminate in the Gfinity Championship 2015 LAN that will take place at one of the biggest arenas in the UK, marking the event as Europe’s largest multi-title eSports event of all time.

To up the ante even further, we’ll be adding to the games that you’ll see supported at Gfinity events, with a total of six eSports titles now confirmed for 2015. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, CS:GO, StarCraft II and FIFA are joined by new additions in HearthStone and Halo.

We think it’s time that eSports players were treated like the athletes they are. To ensure that this is the case, we’re proud to announce that all travel and accommodation costs for the Gfinity Masters Tournaments will be paid for by Gfinity.
