eSports promotor Gfinity Plc (LON:GFIN) has announced the sixth addition to its upcoming new Elite Series league tournament, which is due to take place in London this summer.
Team Endpoint, a leading eSports team, takes the sixth of eight slots in the Elite Series – joining rivals Team EnVyUs, exceL eSports, Reason Gaming, Prophecy and Team Infused.
Neville Upton, Gfinity chief executive, said: “The addition of Endpoint to the Gfinity Elite Series is hugely significant as it supports our quest to back UK talent and will make the competition even more exciting for everyone involved.
“Their expertise and standing, even as a relatively young team in eSports, shows that we are serious about our intention to take eSports in the UK to the next level.
“We are passionate about investing in home-grown players and teams and the Gfinity Elite Series is a fast-paced and thrilling way for us to do this."
Endpoint Esports Ltd’s Adam Jessop, meanwhile, said: "It's an honour to be invited to compete within the Gfinity Elite Series.
“Since returning to the UK eSports scene and founding Endpoint, the progression and opportunities within the UK have been rapidly evolving and I believe that the Gfinity Elite Series marks the next big step in that evolution.
“We have been working hard to position ourselves at the top of the UK scene whilst also embracing the community wherever possible, and we are proud to be able to continue that work as one of the eight Elite Series franchises.
“Competing within such a prestigious competition will help us continue our rapid growth, whilst enabling us and our partners to reach a wider audience."
