The tournament will occur during ICE London 2022, which takes place April 12th-14th at the ExCel London.
It will take place on the Hyper X Sports Truck and will feature esports teams such as Dignitas, 00 Nation, Rix.GG and SMPR Esports.
Rocket League commentators Gregun and JohnnyBoi will host the event for those there in person and on a live stream.
Visitors will also be able to place bets on the tournament using ICE Esports Arena chips.
“Our purpose is to firstly demystify esports and secondly demonstrate how operators can tap into a global phenomenon that’s generating annual betting revenues estimated to be worth $13bn,” said William Harding, head of esports at Clarion Gaming. “Rather than provide an esports lecture we are staging a high-profile tournament, featuring top-tier teams competing for a prize pot of £25,000.”
“The production and live stream will be managed by Allied Esports and tours will be held every morning providing gambling industry professionals with exclusive and invaluable insight on how a professional esports tournament is run.”
Keynote speeches, delivered by UltraPlay and Esports Charts, will also be taking place at the Esports Arena on 13 and 14 April.
