The ePremier League Returns for a Sixth Season with a £100,000 Prize Pool!
Hey there, gamers! I’ve got some exciting news that will surely get your competitive spirits fired up. The Premier League, in partnership with EA Sports, has just announced that the ePremier League is back for its sixth season. And let me tell you, this is going to be one epic showdown!
In the past, the ePremier League tournament was held in collaboration with FIFA. But this time around, it’s taking place in EA Sports FC 24, following EA’s split with its long-time partners. It’s a whole new ballgame, my friends!
If you think you’ve got what it takes to go head-to-head with the best, then it’s time to prove your mettle. Registration is open, and you can sign up to compete at the official ePremier League site. Don’t miss your chance to make gaming history!
Compete Against UK Residents Aged 16 and Over
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details. The tournament is open to all UK residents aged 16 and over. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a rising star, this is your chance to shine on the virtual pitch.
To secure your spot in the ePremier League, you’ll need to battle it out in a series of online qualifiers. Show off your skills, outsmart your opponents, and prove that you’ve got what it takes to make it to the Club Playoffs.
Represent Your Favorite Premier League Club
Here’s where things get really exciting. Each of the 20 Premier League clubs will select two players – one on Xbox and one on PlayStation – to represent them in the ePremier League. Imagine being chosen to carry the hopes and dreams of your favorite club on your virtual shoulders!
Not only will you have the chance to bring glory to your club, but there’s also a hefty prize pool of £100,000 up for grabs. That’s right, my friends, this is not just about bragging rights. It’s about cold, hard cash!
Mark Your Calendars for the Key Dates
Now, let’s talk about the dates you need to mark in your gaming calendar. Qualifier 1 will take place on the weekend of 2/3 November 2023, followed by Qualifier 2 on 7/8 November. Qualifier 3 is scheduled for 16/17 November 2023, and the Online Qualifier Playoff will be held on 21/22 November 2023.
The Club Playoffs will kick off in December 2023, leading up to the group stage of the Grand Finals on 20 and 21 January 2024. This is where the best of the best will battle it out for a chance to be crowned the ePremier League champion.
Celebrate Your Victories with Some Serious Cash
I know you’re itching to know about the prize money. After all, who doesn’t love a hefty payday for their gaming skills? The first-place winner will walk away with a jaw-dropping £30,000. Just imagine what you could do with that kind of cash in your pocket!
But the rewards don’t stop there. The runners-up will take home £15,000, while the third and fourth place finishers will receive £7,500 each. Even the teams that make it to the knockout stage, from fifth to eighth place, will walk away with £5,000 each. And let’s not forget about the ninth to sixteenth place teams, who will each pocket £2,500. That’s some serious gaming gold!
