VANCOUVER, BC, April 7,
2022 /CNW/ - TGS Esports Inc. (TSXV: TGS) (OTC:
TGSEF) (FRA: 5RH) and 7-Eleven Canada have teamed up to bring more
exciting events to Canadian gamers throughout the spring.
Following the partnerships' successful launch of the 2021
tournament series that featured game titles such as Valorant, APEX
Legends, and Guilty Gear Strive, 7-Eleven and TGS are hosting four
unique events for Canadian gamers showcasing Rocket League.
On March 20, eight of the top
Canadian collegiate teams went head-to-head in The Collegiate
Rocket League Championships. St. Clair
College defeated the University of
Alberta in the Grand Finals, taking home the bulk of the
$4,500 prize pool and bragging rights
as the Champions of the North.
The weekend of March 25-27,
7-Eleven took over TGS' home venue, The Gaming Stadium, and created
the 7-Eleven Gamers Lounge. This free in-person event, attended by
more than 500 enthusiastic gaming fans, was highlighted by a Rocket
League watch party, free-play tournaments, arcade games, exciting
gaming activations, mouth-watering 7-Eleven food, and prizes
throughout the weekend.
"We're incredibly excited to partner with TGS Esports to host
the ultimate weekend of gaming and snacking at the 7-Eleven Gamers
Lounge," says Norman Hower, VP &
GM of 7-Eleven Canada. "Knowing how important it is for the gaming
community to keep fueled and have the perfect setup for gaming
sessions and watch parties, this was a natural partnership."
In April, 7-Eleven Canada and TGS will host two additional
Rocket League events:
On April 9th eight Canadian
influencers will compete in the Rocket League Charity Challenge.
Each influencer will play for a charity of their choice with
$8,000 to be donated.
On April 30th gamers from across
North America will compete in a
massive free-to-play Rocket League Open Tournament with a huge
$8,000 prize pool up for grabs. The
tournament will be hosted on Pepper, TGS' proprietary tournament
platform. Both April events will be broadcast live on Twitch and
YouTube.
"Our gaming community absolutely loves this partnership.
7-Eleven understands gamers and has done a great job adding value
to the gaming experience", says Gopal
Patel, COO of TGS Esports. "Through these fun activations
7-Eleven will connect with gamers during moments that matter the
most – when they are playing games and when they are livestreaming
gaming content."
