About Global Esports

Global Esports is an Esports League based in Mumbai, India. They’ve been organizing esports tournaments for Overwatch since mid-2017, some being partnered with Chennai Esports. They have partnered with Experience Points (XP Coin), Cooler Master, Twitch TV and Chennai Esports too.

Their recent tournaments use XP Coins as the prize pool, an interesting approach to providing prize money but it is accepted in many cryptocurrency exchanges, so it’s good.

They’re also giving away 25x $10 Steam Gift Cards (Globally). You can enter the giveaway here.

Stay tuned for the Grand Finals & Semi-Finals, scheduled to be held on 6th May and will be live-streamed exclusively on Global Esports Twitch Channel.
