A pair of UK FPS influencers – Gary ‘BreaK’ Marshall and Jon ‘MrDalekJD’ Hutchinson – will be taking part in a CoD Mobile showmatch this month.
They will be involved in an ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) influencer Call of Duty Mobile tournament, with the final taking place on October 9th at 1pm BST. As team captains, they will form their own squads.
German player ProErsiin and Frenchman Andilex will also be involved as team captains.
BreaK is a PUBG player and streamer (who won the first PUBG Gamescom Invitational five years ago), while MrDalekJD is a popular YouTuber with more than 2.5m subscribers.
Tournament participants will include ten top-tier influencers overall and their fans from the UK, Germany, France, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.
It’s one of a series of exclusive influencer tournaments marking the launch of the new ROG Phone 6D series.
These tournaments will run until November and showcase the ROG Phone 6D Ultimate smartphone boasting MediaTek technologies, CPU cooling tech and an AeroActive Portal for a larger thermal surface area, which is designed for sustained marathon gaming sessions.
Fans selected from their community will compete in PUBG Mobile in APAC regions, and Call of Duty Mobile for EMEA regions.
The activity starts in the EMEA regions, where the ROG Phone 6D series has been available to pre-order from September 19th, and will continue in the APAC regions from October until November.
The final matchup is still being decided. There is no prize pool, but fans that watch can win the new ROG Phone 6D if they watch the finals.
