2K Games and eSports league ESL have announced the Evolve Proving Grounds tournament which aims to find the game's best players on Xbox One.
The grand final of the tournament will take place in Los Angeles on the week of June 15th, and the winner will receive $100,000. Opening qualifiers begin on Sunday, April 26th, with online qualifiers in both Europe and the United States. Following four weeks of online competition, qualifiers will be invited to ESL studios in Cologne, Germany and Burbank, California for a travel-expenses-pail offline tournament.
“Evolve has commanded the attention of the gaming world since – and before – its release in February of this year. We consistently see demand for the game at our events and are happy to now be doing more with it in terms of esports competition,” David Hiltscher, Vice President of Gaming Communities at ESL, commented in a press release. “The future looks bright for Evolve esports, and we’re happy to be a part of it.”
The game is a 4v1 shooter game in which four hunters fight together to take down a player controlled Monster.
While 2K parent Take Two has said it's pleased with the game's performance, there's reason to believe not all is well with the game.
