The popular StarCraft II eSports tournament, Red Bull Battle Grounds, is drawing near and recently announced that three more open qualifier events have been added to its schedule: Red Bull Battle Grounds North America, Red Bull Battle Grounds Global, and Red Bull Battle Grounds Online.
For the past few years Red Bull has been a huge proponent of eSports, particularly Blizzard Entertainment's award winning real time strategy game StarCraft 2. On November 23rd and 24th, eight of the best professional gamers, including the reigning StarCraft 2 World Champion Bomber, will duke it out for a $50,000 prize pool.
Screaming fans. Larger-than-life personalities. Professional sports-sized prize purses. This is not simply a game – this is eSports; this is the Red Bull Battle Grounds.
When I think of Red Bull, sure I think of the product, but first and foremost I think of the brand's prominence in sports. So it should come as no surprise that Red Bull is beginning to invest more heavily into eSports.
