to the Gfinity Elite Series is hugely significant as it supports
our quest to back UK talent and will make the competition even more
exciting for everyone involved. Their expertise and standing, even
as a relatively young team in eSports, shows that we are serious
about our intention to take eSports in the UK to the next level. We
are passionate about investing in home-grown players and teams and
the Gfinity Elite Series is a fast-paced and thrilling way for us
to do this."
Adam 'Adz' Jessop, CEO Endpoint Esports Ltd said: "It's an
honour to be invited to compete within the Gfinity Elite Series.
Since returning to the UK eSports scene and founding Endpoint, the
progression and opportunities within the UK have been rapidly
evolving and I believe that the Gfinity Elite Series marks the next
big step in that evolution. We have been working hard to position
ourselves at the top of the UK scene whilst also embracing the
community wherever possible, and we are proud to be able to
continue that work as one of the eight Elite Series franchises.
Competing within such a prestigious competition will help us
continue our rapid growth, whilst enabling us and our partners to
reach a wider audience."
