Registration is currently live and is available until December 31 of this year, meaning that anyone who wants in on the action need only to visit and register at calgaryesportsleague.com sometime in the next two days.

It costs $15 per person per game to sign up to play, and all participants are expected to bring their own PC with the designated game installed. It should be noted that players may only register for one game at this event.

Individual players will be added to a team that needs additional numbers, and partial teams will need to list the gamer tags of their teammates when they sign up.

If you’re interested in checking out the event but don’t feel like playing, you can purchase a spectator ticket for $15 that will allow you to watch all the different games and matches being played.

The event will be hosted in Telus Spark’s facility that features multiple projectors, screens, and a 125-seat theatre.

The inaugural Calgary Esports League exhibition event will run from 6 to 10 pm on Tuesday, January 15, and the minimum prize pool is $2,000.
