Esportz launched the flagship IP ‘Esportz Premier Series, India’s Yearlong Esports Championship’ two years ago with the idea of an open for all tournament having community-first approach, providing a platform for amateurs, novices, and pros. A single place for everyone to showcase and compete on an equal footing. Since then the tournament has evolved into a launch pad for anybody who aspires to ‘Go Pro’ by putting their talents and passion to the forefront.

The second edition kicked off in January 2022 featuring five gaming titles, including VALORANT, Clash Royale, Street Fighter V, Free Fire Max, and Rocket League (Covering major genres of esports — PC, Mobile, and Console). Over 15000+ players and 2000+ teams have been a part of this yearlong journey competing in the 18 open online qualifiers held over the year of 2022, attracting more than 11M+ online gamers. The qualifiers produced 98 of the best esports athletes from India Esports circuit for the Grand Finale, and they are now one step away from winning the Esportz Premier Series 2022.

The first two days will be held online, while the remaining two will take place at the Opal Convention Centre in Mumbai, bringing the annual esports cycle to a close by transferring the complete gaming experience from online to an offline LAN setting with action-packed matchups in front of a live crowd.
