HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas is the Strip's first dedicated esports arena and the flagship venue of Allied Esports' global property network. The state-of-the-art arena and production facility has hosted a wide variety of top-tier esports entertainment events since its opening in 2018, and its lineup of weekly tournaments has become the center of Las Vegas' growing esports scene.
"Our inaugural NHL Gaming World Championship Final, including the venue accommodations at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas, exceeded all expectations," said Chris Golier, NHL Vice President of Business Development. "The arena's focus on esports makes it a perfect venue to host our championship. We're thrilled to be returning to this best-in-class facility and working with our host partners at MGM Resorts as we take Year Two of the NHL Gaming World Championship to the next level."
The 2019 NHL Gaming World Championship™ Final - featuring a bracket of the winners from each region (three total), with one final spot determined through a special play-in round-robin of the runner-up from each region - will pit the world's top players against one another. The entire semifinal main bracket is best-of-three, with the winners advancing to the final to determine the 2019 NHL Gaming World Champion - who will take home $50,000, raise the Championship Trophy and be featured in the broadcast of the 2019 NHL Awards™ presented by Bridgestone.
Building off last year's success, the World Final will once again be streamed live on the NHL's Twitch channel,
