Series E: Apex Legends Season 4 and Guilty Gear Season 1 are both right around the corner, and we here at Esports Arena are excitedly getting everything ready to kick it off. Series E is all about giving opportunities for the next generation of talent in esports to show their skills as well as learn and grow in the space of competitive esports. Players and teams battle to qualify and the best-of-the-best get signed to Series E. Those players and teams then get paid a salary and get to compete weekly for points and prize money where they will test their skills against some of the best competitors in their title. And all of this is made possible by the awesome partners who join us at Esports Arena.
As we prepare for the start of year two of Series E, we’re excited to announce our new crop of partners who help make all of this possible. Some familiar faces will be returning as Series E partners along with a slate of new faces that will be a part of highlighting the next generation of esports talent. Each of the brands listed below will be available for the qualified players to represent during the upcoming season.
You read that right, by simply completing the Series E qualifiers for the game of your choice, you could earn a chance to represent one of these brands and get paid a monthly salary. Let’s meet the brands:
INTEL
Intel was the FIRST partner to join Series E at it’s launch. One of the biggest brands in the world, especially when it comes to PCs, Intel is known by every gamer worldwide. They are the world’s largest manufacturer of semiconductor chips and continue to push the technological envelope. From Intel Gamer Days to Intel Extreme Masters, Intel has been a driving force in the Esports space for well over a decade and now they are giving back even more with Series E.
