The Elite Series is a new esports circuit focused on bringing together the world’s top-performing players of the single-elimination, massive arena shooter H1Z1.  It will feature tournaments in the North American, European, APAC (Asia-Pacific) and LATAM (Latin America) regions.

If for some reason you have not heard about H1Z1 by now, let me fill you in. H1Z1 is a single-elimination, massive arena shooter that pits 150 battle-hardened players against each other in a robust and detailed world.  Players scavenge for weapons, ammo, armor, vehicles and life-saving supplies to gain the upper hand on the competition and be the last one standing.
