Newegg
and Allied
Esports today unveiled details for an all-new esports event titled
“Triple Crown Royale,” which will take place at HyperX Esports Arena Las
Vegas on June 22 from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Triple Crown Royale will be the
ultimate battle royale challenge, with participants competing in three
popular titles: Apex Legends, Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
(PUBG). The competition will be open to the public with the opportunity
for select participants to compete against professional players from
Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), including Marksman & Psalm from the CLG
Fortnite team, and Emy & GooseBreeder from the CLG CS:GO Red team.
“This is a great opportunity to bring together the Las Vegas esports
community, from fans to the pros themselves,” said Mitesh Patel, VP
Marketing at Newegg. “The HyperX Esports Arena has proven to be a
popular gamer destination and we have a few surprises in store to make
this event truly special.”
Doors will open at 4 p.m. with a meet-and-greet where fans, players,
pros and partners will have the chance to interact and take home a
number of product giveaways. The stream
will go live at 5:30 p.m., with gameplay beginning at 6 p.m. Two rounds
of competition will kick-off with Apex Legends, followed by Fortnite and
then PUBG, with cash prizes totaling $5,000 awarded at the end of each
round. All attendees will be eligible to win prizes throughout the
night, and online viewers will have their own chance to win by tuning in.
“Triple Crown Royale is a brilliant example of what makes esports so
unique, exciting and entertaining,” said Simon Temperley, Chief Revenue
and Marketing Officer at Allied Esports. “Giving talented Las Vegas
community players the opportunity to compete against and maybe even beat
some of the world’s top players on the HyperX Esports Arena stage is a
tremendous way to grow the competitive gaming scene at the grassroots
level. And having the opportunity to work with partners who share our
vision for incredible live experiences, like Newegg, is an honor and a
lot of fun.”
