The 2024 MotoGP™ eSport Championship is already shaping up to be one to remember after an ultra-competitive Pro Draft which saw gamers from around the world competing to set the fastest times possible across three Online Challenges.
And a number of experienced MotoGP™ eSport gamers came to the fore, as well as a host of exciting new names as well.
Chief among them was Italian davideturrisi06, who topped the European standings, scoring a maximum 75 points from the three Online Challenges. Meanwhile, the Rest of the World standings were headed by the rapid Malaysian Eiky, who also scored 75 points from a possible 75.
Each Online Challenge required gamers to set the fastest time possible in time-attack mode around a particular circuit using a specific rider-machine combination.
During each Online Challenge, gamers were classified in one of two categories: those from Europe and those from the Rest of the World. The gamers setting the fastest times were awarded points, starting at 25 for first, 20 for second, 16 for third and so on.
davideturrisi06 was the quickest European, topping the Playstation standings on all three occasions, while Jack Hammer4658 was second overall using the Xbox with 70 points. Former MotoGP™ eSport Champ 26_adriaan (PC) was joint third on 65 points, along with danielealoè26 (Xbox) – two names that have proven their pedigree during the high stakes Global Series in recent years.
In the Rest of the World classification, Eiky topped the Xbox standings on all three occasions. Next up was compatriot Khairi Haziq, who was the quickest name using a PC. The Malaysian scored 70 points from an available 75, as did super-quick Thai gamer XzerRock, who also scored 70 points using a Playstation.
The goal of the Pro Draft was to catch the eye of a current MotoGP™ team, by displaying speed, consistency and race craft to secure a place with one of them in the Global Series!
