This Esports tournament has a Hyundai I20 real car as a prize

Even though there are many tournaments out there in gaming that have bigger prize pools like LoL and Dota 2, this is the first time we see an Esports event that awards its winner with a real car from Hyundai.

Esports WRC is the very first World Rally Championship online tournament. After a year of qualifications in WRC5 game, the best 18 from PC, PS4 and Xbox One platforms will compete against each other at the grand finale of Wales Rally GB October 24-30, and the prize is a 20.000 Euros worth Hyundai I20.

“We are very proud to partner with a company like Hyundai for our first edition of eSports WRC, eSports WRC is a big challenge for us, since creating a virtual tournament which runs simultaneously to the calendar of an official FIA competition is something never seen in the gaming industry.” said Benoît Clerc, head of software at the game’s publisher Bigben Interactive.

“As an innovative company, Hyundai will support us by providing a marvellous prize for the winner of the most exciting online racing competition,”

The tournament will be organized by Bigben Interactive, Kylotonn Games and ESL.
