The nine countries hosting Beat the Best will be Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey and South Korea throughout 2022 and early 2023. Registration for each tournament will open on the competition’s official website weeks before the start date. A new this year is that the competition will be open to Xbox One Series and PC platforms, as well as PlayStation 5.
The Beat the Best online tournaments bring the experience of a major official competition to the amateur scene, and make players feel like top stars competing in a spectacular final against a celebrity from their own country.
In addition to these tournaments, there will again be two face-to-face events in China and the United States. These events will pit some of the best national players and influencers from both countries against each other in an exhibition tournament that aims to take eLaLiga’s international brand to a new level.
