Red 5 Studios is going to begin Go4Firefall the the first Firefall official tournament series on Sunday, August 4 and will be hosted in partnership with the Electronic Sports League (ESL).

The tournament is going to run throughout both EU and US, offering respective prize pools of €9,000 and $9,000 in weekly cups featuring Firefall’s new eSports game type, Jetball, where teams of five players compete for victory by flying or shooting a high-tech ball through their opponent’s goal. Because players can’t defend themselves while carrying the ball, teams must rely on passing and coordination, strategically using each Battleframe’s unique weapons, abilities and maneuverability to score.

Each Sunday participating teams will compete for a $1,000/€1,000 prize pool and points toward their monthly ranking. At the end of the month, the eight highest ranked teams in each region will compete in a live-streamed final cup for a $5,000/€5,000 prize pool and the US or EU championship title.
