The Gfinity Elite Series will kick off this Saturday, with eight teams duking it out for over $100,000 in cash prizes.
The Gfinity Elite Series is a brand new competition that will see eight franchises face off in three games, CS:GO, Street Fighter and Rocket League, for a combined prize pot of £225,000 (approximately $290,000).
The tournament will launch in the United Kingdom, but Gfinity plans to expand the Series internationally to create what it has labelled the Gfinity eSports World Series.
