ESE (ESE) and Riot Games will join forces to organize the Ultraliga Teamfight Tactics Championship Arcane.

Teamfight Tactics is a spinoff of League of Legends developed and published by Riot Games.

ESE’s production house, Frenzy sp. z.o.o., will produce the broadcast for the third edition of the Polish championship. The competition runs from December 13, 2021 to January 30, 2022, and will be broadcast on the Polsat Games television channel owned by Cyfrowy Polsat S.A.

The sixteen best Polish players will compete for the championship and promotion to the international tournament, Rising Legends Superbrawl. This includes eleven qualifiers, the top four players from the previous edition of Ultraliga Teamfight Tactics, and the finalist of the most recent Teamfight Tactics World Championships, Kacper “shircane” Piśniak.

The competition is closely linked with and will be promoted alongside the premiere of the animated series, Arcane, a collaboration between Riot Games and Netflix.

Grzegorz Szabla, Riot Games’ Senior Brand Manager CEE, stated,

“We are very proud of our cooperation with Frenzy over the past few years, whether that’s bringing to life tournaments on TV, streaming services or creating documentaries around some of our biggest esports stars. Frenzy stands for quality and we look forward to working together more in the future.”

Marcin Kilar, Managing Director at Frenzy, added,

“The Polish Championship in Teamfight Tactics was a catalyst for the development of the Polish scene. We’ve been working together with Riot Games to ensure that players can improve their skills in a healthy ecosystem, and fans can experience top-level production of this prestigious tournament. I am happy that Ultraliga has already supported development of a World Championships finalist. It is time for another Ultraliga alumni to start conquering the Teamfight Tactics world.”

ESE is an entertainment and technology company focused on gaming, particularly on esports.

ESE Entertainment (ESE) closed up by 3.25 per cent trading at $1.59 per share.
