After two months of Online Challenges, the season opener of the Global Series kicks off this weekend, and the MotoGP™ eSport Championship is live from the #ItalianGP at the world famous Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello.
Twelve finalists have been chosen by the MotoGP™ teams as their competitors in the Global Series, expanded to five rounds and ten races for 2022. The twelve hopefuls hail from all around the world, and make up arguably the strongest Global Series line-up yet!
An action-packed show that includes the final two races of this year’s series gets underway on Friday 27th at 19:00 Local Time with Gavin Emmet presenting and Jack Appleyard and Jack Gorst providing the commentary.
This year’s cast is the usual mix of experience and youthful exuberance, with returning names and champions past – AndreaSaveri11 and Adriaan_26 – and present – Trast73 – sure to face tough challenges from gamers hailing from Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Indonesia and Australia!
The eleven finalists will take on the tight and twisty Sachsenring Circuit in wet conditions for race one before attacking the brilliant Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello in the dry for race two.
Friday’s action will be available to watch live on on selected TV broadcasters, motogp.com, esport.motogp.com, and across a wide range of social media platforms including YouTube (via the MotoGP™ and MotoGP™ eSport channels), Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (via MotoGP™ and MotoGP™ eSport pages) and Twitch via MotoGP™ and MotoGP™ eSport.
