Asia's first intl esports tournament unveiled in Shanghai


The organizer expects tens of thousands of esports athletes to compete in its six-month season each year. Meanwhile, not only professional esports players, the tournament will open its door to amateur players as well.
Chinese esports player Zeng Zhuojun, who is better known as Xiaohai and was crowned at the Esports World Cup's Street Fighter 6 tournament in August, is excited about the new league at his doorstep.
"It can be very tiring for esports players to make long travels to compete in intense events overseas. I once fell asleep standing in the arena after finishing a three-day event. So I will be expecting a lot from the ACL bringing such events to China. We can have plenty of time to rest and get better prepared for the competition. The audiences can also get closer to the tournament with more interactive experiences," said Zeng.
ACL is also a partner of the EWC, which takes place annually in Saudi Arabia from this year. Currently, the two sides are actively exploring on the game titles for competition and how ACL can be aligned with the Global EWC Qualifications for 2025.
