"Infinite Crisis is a fantastic addition to our ESL network," stated Sean Charles, Vice President of Marketing and Publisher Relations at Turtle Entertainment.

Interactive Entertainment is a great example of how we can work with top game publishers to introduce their games to our audiences."

Beyond their Gamescom collaboration, the publisher and ESL will continue to create interesting competitive leagues for Infinite Crisis, which will be accessible through the experienced ESL platforms and shown live via ESL’s own live television studio: ESL TV. In addition, Infinite Crisis’ entrance into the world of eSports in Europe will be streamed to audiences via Twitch.tv, the global leading streaming platform for gamers.

Gamescom attendees will be able to visit the 50m² Infinite Crisis booth in the ESL CM Storm Arena to watch professional and amateur gamers alike play the game. They will be moreover able to participate in an open Q&A with the developers, get their hands on a host of gaming giveaways and witness the introduction of the new Coast City map, which players can experience for the first time in a consumer setting.

"The partnership with ESL is a very exciting step for us because we are able to reach out and engage with the competitive gaming community across Europe," said Jeffrey Steefel, Executive Producer for Infinite Crisis. "We’re thrilled to be working with MOBA players of all levels, from grass roots, to great partnerships like ESL."
