ESP Gaming’s newest event is the World Showdown of Esports

The race is on to showcase esports in the glitziest and most exciting style. ESP Gaming hopes to do that with the World Showdown of Esports (WSOE), a tournament series in Las Vegas that starts this weekend with a broadcast of a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) tournament. Inspired by boxing and mixed-martial-arts broadcasts, the tournament will feature fight card-style matches that showcase the best games, players and teams across the globe.

To celebrate the announcement, the WSOE (in partnership with esports organization Auzom) will present a special live event, The PUBG Pan-Continental, broadcast live on Twitch July 14 and July 15 from the PokerGo Studio at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, with special guests and players from Team Vitality, Team Envy, OpTic Gaming, Tempo Storm and more competing in PUBG. That competition will feature a $100,000 prize pool.
