We here at Esports Arena are excited to announce the next title coming to Series E, Guilty Gear -Strive-! Over the last year, we’ve put our all into building an incredible competitive environment with Series E: Apex Legends. Now, as the Apex scene continues to grow and thrive, we feel we are ready to bring Series E to another incredible gaming community. Everyone at Esports Arena is extremely proud of what Series E has been able to do for aspiring Apex Legends pros over the last year and cannot wait to provide the same opportunities for up-and-coming talent in the Guilty Gear -Strive- scene.

If you have never heard of Series E, you might have a lot of questions. This short video below explains just how things work in Series E:

TL;DW: Anyone can compete in our qualifiers and the top finishers in said qualifiers will have the opportunity to sign with Esports Arena as a Series E pro, represent one of our partnered brands with a monthly salary, and compete weekly for points and prize money against some of the best competition in the scene.

Now let’s clarify what comes with being a Series E pro. All players who qualify for a Series E sponsorship will sign a contract with Esports Arena. Signing said contract will mean that the player will be drafted by one of the Series E sponsor brands, receive a team jersey as well as a care package of product from the sponsor brands, and get their monthly Series E salary. Series E players will also be involved in creating content and social media campaigns around their respective Series E circuit. All these great perks alongside competing with the best-of-the-best is what being a Series E professional is all about.

Now that we have an understanding of how Series E works in general, let’s hammer out some of the specific details about how things will work for the Guilty Gear scene:
