Konami has confirmed that the PES LEAGUE WORLD TOUR 2018 is set to be the official UEFA Champions League eSports competition. This will be a host of offline events which will be held starting from Winter 2017, running through to 2018 which will see the players who have achieved the highest points in the ranking to qualify for the battle for the world championship.
UEFA Events SA Marketing Director Guy-Laurent Epstein is looking forward to this season’s PES eSports events and the opportunity that will be available to players under the UEFA Champions League banner, whilst Konami President Hideki Hayakawa added: “I am delighted to be able to work with UEFA for this opportunity not only to bring an exciting experience for the participating players, but to also be able to provide Football fans from all over the world an opportunity to enjoy this competition first-hand at the physical events or through live streams.”
Konami has been working with the European governing Football federation since 2009, having obtained the license agreement to recreate the UEFA Champions League in games such as PES 2018, in order to determine who is truly the best in European football. Konami has pledged to continue in the eSports scene, and aims to deliver more fun and excitement for players.
