Rocket League joins Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Street Fighter V as the games for the competition. 

With all three games now know the Challenger Series can now get underway, with sign ups now open. Over the next five weeks players will compete for G-Points, with the top players being invited to the Elite Draft, where pro teams will sign at least two players from each game to their rosters.

We want more gamers playing harder and better at the top level to showcase new home-grown talent to existing pro teams and ultimately pave the way for more UK pro teams being formed that can go on and compete at global events. The Gfinity Elite Series brings world-class-level competition to the UK and is set to be the pinnacle eSports event in the UK.”
