FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Tired of always beating your friends in FIFA or NHL? Think it’s time to challenge yourself a bit, upgrade to the big leagues, and win some serious swag while you’re at it?
On Saturday, October 5 the Lvle Up Tournament Series is coming to Vancouver at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. It’s open to all ages and skill levels, so don’t feel like you have to be a pro to show up!
Lvle Up is an esports tournament platform that hosts live and online tournaments for amazing prizes. In addition to NHL and FIFA tournaments, they also run tournaments from Madden, NBA Live and NBA 2K.
eSports/Lvle Up
eSports is on the rise globally, and it’s increasingly seen as a legitimate competitive sport: big stations like ESPN find themselves broadcasting major tournaments to their audiences; the Vancouver Titans, which formed last December, is one of the top teams in the Overwatch League; and tournaments all over the world are selling out massive arenas with crowds rivalling the Super Bowl.
Suffice to say, eSports is a growing industry, and events such as the Lvle Up Tournament Series offer another opportunity to get involved.
