Super League Arena will provide esports players the opportunity to showcase their skill while competing to win up to $10,000 in cash, financial support for their education, and other prizes, all from the comfort and safety of home.

We’re excited to launch this program, both for our existing community of more than 2.5mm registered players, and for the tens of millions who continue to pursue their personal esports path.”

Each Super League Arena tournament will be live streamed by SuperLeagueTV on Twitch using the company’s fully remote, proprietary production system and patented visualization technology.
