From April 6 to 9, Nuevo León hosted one of the most recognized esports competitions worldwide, the AMERICAN RMR – CS GO PARIS 2023. This event, supported by Liga ACE, was extraordinary as it was broadcast to almost 20 million spectators on five continents.
Rooms and lounges of the Safi Metropolitan hotel, in San Pedro Garza García, became the bunkers where 16 elite Counter-Strike teams competed for one of the five tickets assigned for American representatives to attend the specialty world championship to be held in Paris, France in May.
Liga ACEin alliance with Blast.TV, were the main sponsors of the event in which Counter-Strike video game experts faced off in multiple rounds to achieve various objectives and win. Counter-Strike was the steppingstone for games like Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, and Overwatch.
“We are positioning Nuevo León as the esports hub in Latin America,” said Octavio Echeagaray, General Director of Liga ACE.
Nuevo León received teams from different countries of the American continent: one from Argentina, 10 from Brazil, and five from Canada and the United States. They faced each other in Swiss format games to find the undisputed champion of the American continent. The duels were broadcast via streaming, through Blast.TV, on their Twitch and YouTube channels.
“Thanks to our proximity to the United States, we can make this industry grow in our country. In addition, we are very excited to contribute Latino talent and share it with the rest of the world,” added Echeagaray.
The AMERICAN RMR was carried out by a Latin provider for the first time, thanks to Blast.tv's confidence in ACE League as the largest Latin producer specialized in esports and the best option to carry out this elite event, which had an excellent reception.
