Once again, the series is based around the Official MotoGP™ Videogame, which provides a host of challenges for gaming hopefuls around the world that share the goal of competing in the MotoGP™ eSport Championship.
As has been the case in recent years, gamers can compete on Sony PlayStation®, Xbox and PC platforms in a Pro Draft selection based on 4 Online Challenges. The players who have more points after the last challenge will be classified for the Draft Selection. In total will be a Draft Pool of 27 gamers (24 from the Pro Draft plus the three winners of last year’s Rising Stars Series).
The 12 gamers selected for the MotoGP™ Teams will fight in the Global Series, a 10-race championship held across 5 different venues, for the overall crown.
How is it structured?
The Championship is comprised of two main phases; Pro Draft and Global Series. The MotoGP™ eSport Pro Draft is the Official Selection Phase and will consist of 4 Online Challenges based on a time trial format. The Global Series is the final stage of the 2022 MotoGP™ eSport Championship and comprises five Rounds of competition which will take place in three different MotoGP™ venues, with two virtual events taking place.
