- Predator partners with VALORANT Challengers Malaysia and Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n
The EMEA Predator League is open to players in 14 countries in the region, including the UK. The release, however, fails to disclose the other regions competing. Additionally, Acer will offer ‘exclusive promotions’ to local retailers alongside a range of activations including product giveaways.
Players will compete in national qualifiers and national finals, concluding with the EMEA International Final on November 20th. The UK national finals are scheduled to take place on November 13th.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n \nIn addition to the EMEA region, Acer operates a Predator League in the Asia Pacific (APAC) market. The league sees players compete in PUBG: Battlegrounds and Dota 2 for a share of $400,000 (~\u00a3369,900) in prize money.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nUK retailer and Acer Predator partner, Currys PC World<\/strong>, is the sole partner for the EMEA Predator League. This is also not the first time Acer has launched the Predator League in EMEA. In 2020, the hardware company teamed up with ESL Gaming for an EMEA CS:GO Predator League series<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\n \nHajo Blingen, Vice President of Marketing at Acer EMEA<\/strong>, spoke on launching the tournament: “We are very excited to announce the second season of the EMEA Predator League after its initial season in 2020. With our world-leading gaming portfolio, it is important to always reinvent ourselves.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n“The EMEA Predator League 2022 ties in with our commitment to make esports accessible for everyone competing in Rocket League. At the same time, fans can look forward to special offers and promotions from our involved retail partners.”<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
