Asia's first intl esports tournament unveiled in Shanghai
The Esports Asian Champions League (ACL), Asia's first international, multi-title esports tournament was unveiled on Tuesday in Shanghai, aiming to help integrate the fragmented esports system in Asia and promote the industry's standardization and internationalization, announced the organizer.
Organized by VSPO, the biggest esports company in Asia headquartered in Shanghai, the new league is set to make the most diverse and accessible esports tournament in the region. The league will cover seven to ten game titles at launch, and its inaugural season will last for about six months, expecting to produce more than 300 million minutes of esports content for fans, according to Jonny Wang, VSPO's co-founder and the league's chief executive officer.
With the application of extended reality (XR) technologies, the first ACL tournament plans to build a batch of online "Skyring" gaming arenas across Asia, which will for the first time enable esports players to compete in the cloud, and allow global audiences to enjoy the events interactively regardless of national and regional borders.
"A key focus of ACL is to create more opportunities for top teams from different Asian countries to compete throughout the year. More high-stake regional rivalries are something that fans would love to see and what we want to deliver through ACL," said Wang.
