Gaming is an escape from the everyday — a chance to make friends and enjoy a break from the pressure. There’s no doubt that the obsession with digital worlds starts in schooling years, and more and more young people are leaning toward pursuing a career in gaming. Now, they’ll have the chance to take their gaming dreams to the next level. Introducing: Acer’s first Predator League Academy.
You might have heard of the Predator League before, where esports teams from all over the APAC region come together to battle it out in “Valorant“. This time around, it will pit Australian and New Zealand high school teams against each other in an all out “Fortnite” battle. But the fun doesn’t stop there.
Each Acer Predator League Academy round will take place weekly from April to October 2024 (AKA terms two and three). What’s more, the final will be played on a massive stage at Sydney’s South by South West (SXSW) festival. Get ready for true test of nerve, teamwork and potential!
Spectators will also be in for a treat, as Aussie gaming icon Lachlan Power and Loserfruit of PWR will be spearheading the hosting duties. With the personality and banter that these creators bring to their own channels, we’re surely in for a show.
“Gaming and competitive esports is a huge industry,” Loserfruit said, “So being able to help promote an experience such as the Acer Predator League Academy that enables young people to showcase their skills in a fun and competitive environment, is great and something I’m really looking forward to.”
