Appointment as production partner for Red Bull Home Ground
Tournament
Gfinity (AIM: GFIN), a world-leading esports and gaming
solutions provider, today announces it has extended its long
running partnership with Red Bull and entered into a commercial
agreement as the production partner for the third edition of Red
Bull Home Ground. The Valorant Invitational event will be held at
Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, on December 9-11, 2022.
Gfinity is providing end to end production services to broadcast
the live event, along with providing the outside broadcasting TV
facilities and infrastructure. In addition, Gfinity & Red Bull
partnered up for the ideation and delivery of a comprehensive
pre-event content plan to promote and drive interest in the live
event. This includes content shot in the UK and Turkey to be
distributed on Red Bull Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and
YouTube.
The tournament format is unique to Red Bull. Eight teams from
around the world will be competing in a unique, map-focused
competition. In the best-of-five matches both teams pick a "home
ground" to play on for the opening two matches. If a team wins both
opening "home" and "away" matches, they'll go straight through -
tie, and the best-of-five continues.
Red Bull Home Ground will be streamed live on Twitch and
YouTube.
Gfinity has delivered three events previously for the partner:
Red Bull Kumite 2021, Red Bull Campus Clutch World Final Knockout
Round 2021 and Worlds Simplified 2020.
John Clarke, CEO Gfinity said: "We are excited to be working
with Red Bull again and continuing our long-term relationship. When
you work with Red Bull you can guarantee a collaborative and
creative journey. The focus is on presenting the game and the
tournament in a fun and compelling way for the players and fans. We
love the challenge. Red Bull Home Ground 2022 will raise the bar
higher than ever before. Don't miss it!"
