Gfinity Announces EA SPORTS FIFA 19 Global Series
Partnership
Gfinity, a world-leading esports solutions provider, announces
it will host four events as part of the EA SPORTS(TM) FIFA 19
Global Series. The tournaments consist of one FUT Champions Cup and
three Licensed Qualifiers. The first event starts today, Friday
14(th) December 2018, and all will be held at the Gfinity Esports
Arena in London.
Each of the events form part of the journey that players will
take on the road to the FIFA eWorld Cup 2019. The FUT Champions Cup
features 64 of the world's best FIFA 19 players who have qualified
through in-game online competitions. The Licensed Qualifiers
maintain the same format but feature 32 players across PlayStation
4 and Xbox One.
More than 20 million players across 60 countries participated in
the EA SPORTS FIFA 18 Global Series. For the 2019 season, new
pathways are now available making it easier for players to qualify
for the EA SPORTS FIFA 19 Global Series through the introduction of
a new EA SPORTS FIFA 19 Global Series Points system.
The FUT Champions Cup and Licensed Qualifiers extend Gfinity's
strong relationship with competitive FIFA, following its recent
appointment as Tournament Operator for the inaugural ePremier
League. That tournament will feature esports players from each of
the 20 Premier League clubs with registration now open for online
qualifications. This will be followed by individual club
tournaments in January through March, and live finals kicking off
on 28-29(th) March 2019. For more information, visit:

Garry Cook, Executive Chairman at Gfinity, said: "We are proud
to extend our partnership with EA SPORTS for this season. With
these four events, alongside the Gfinity Elite Series and the
upcoming ePremier League, we continue to be at the forefront of
FIFA competitive gaming tournaments. We are now established as one
of the world-leaders in this sector. FIFA is driving growth in both
participation and viewership and we will deliver best-in-class
tournaments which will excite, inform and entertain their legion of
fans."
