UK-based esports operator Gfinity has announced it’s been appointed by Cadbury to deliver a new gaming tournament.

The Cadbury Heroes Parents League will see players competing against one another in a knockout competition.

It will involve 12 teams of 2 players. Each team will consist
of one gaming influencer playing alongside a parent or guardian.

The influencers will be announced at the start of October, alongside the game, then there will be a period of training for the teams before the tournament is livestreamed in early November 2020.

The final will be hosted from the Gfinity Arena in Fulham in November.

Gfinity will be paid a six-figure fee to deliver the tournament, which will contribute towards the company’s target of moving into profitability in Q1 2021.

As part of the agreement, Gfinity will be responsible for sourcing gaming talent, facilitating the tournament play, production and broadcasting the final from the Gfinity Arena in London.

The tournament will be broadcast across Gfinity’s owned channels including on Twitch and YouTube and will be supported by a campaign across Gfinity Digital Media group websites, including editorial coverage.

gaming entertainment.”
