ACE, part of VÍVARO, gave a demonstration of professionalism and dedication on Thursday, September 19, when it presented to the media and government entities all the work it has been doing to produce and broadcast the VCT Ascension Americas 2024, in Monterrey.
Our city was one of the three venues in which the eliminatory tournaments were held for the team that will obtain its ticket to Los Angeles, and thus participate in the 2025 season of the category.
ACE professionals have been doing a huge job at the Venue Backstage, which has been the competition bunker for 40 players, in their respective teams, since September 10 and whose activities will conclude on Saturday, September 21, at the same venue.
The other venues are Berlin, in Europe, and Tokyo, in Asia. And, with this event, Monterrey became the first Mexican city to hold an event with an audience present.
“We are very, very, very proud of the work that has been done. And, above all, of turning Nuevo León -particularly Monterrey- into a headquarters, a hub for esports in Latin America and especially for the Spanish-speaking market,” Gustavo Mario de la Garza Flores, CEO of Grupo Vivaro, told the media.
Meanwhile, Octavio Echeagaray, who leads ACE, a group of enthusiastic men and women who love esports, made history with his work in this event.
“We are a very young company, highly committed to the category and very, very passionate. We are ambitious because we see and want to create a new standard in the industry and bring events - of this caliber - that we have not had in Mexico. The challenge is to be a company that, in three years, has gone from being a group of people who had been locked in the pandemic, doing digital shows, and are now doing one of the most important products in the entire American continent,” he said.
This was one of the most outstanding esports events at continental level and we are very proud that Vivaro, hand in hand with ACE, was able to write the first page in the history of esports competitions, with the public present.
Surely, the ACE team achieved its goal of reaching 3 million connected fans on social media and 1 million viewers of its live broadcasts.
Congrats!
