During the launch event last sunday, Bobby (CEO of Tencent Esports and Publishing Director of VAL Mobile) came out to drop some news on the Esports stuff in China
-
There will be a "National Competition" series like the one for PC version
-
Tencent will inject 10,000,000 CNY or roughly $1,300,000 annually as prize pool
-
The event will feature four tracks:
- Open Class = All teams can compete subregionally
- College Class = Limited to teams in collegiate/university level
- Platform Class = Similar to Open but also focused on Content Creator, you are repping the platform you're streaming in
- Co-op Track = OnePlus phones is VALM's Official Esports phone partner so they will host their own qualifier
Basically like how Blender tournament looked like in EMEA, except in China this is common thing that almost all of Tencent's esports has it
No dates yet, but if you remember the Creator Cup that someone posted here before that one runs until September. So this is after September
Game launches in China and will exit beta on August 19
