In two weeks time, two open qualifiers will take place with the eight winning players each earning a sponsorship by one of the partnered brands -- VIZIO, Nerf, Intel, Razer, Splash, Excedrin -- and joining either the “Esports Arena Red” or “Esports Arena Blue” teams.
The Series E tournament will then see eight weeks of games with $1,000 open tournaments every Monday followed by $500 invite-only exhibition matches every Wednesday.
