"City Champs" will set cities against each other for bragging rights in a high stake contest. A chance to play live pickup games with friends or even make new ones in their own neighbourhood is offered by "City Rec".
The first of rounds presents head-to-head competition between the inaugural teams such as Miami Menace, Chicago Force, Los Angeles Shockwaves and Dallas Dynamite whereas additional cities will be revealed by next year. Super League Gaming is working personally with various theatre chains in the country which includes Cinemark USA, Inc. building one of a kind in-person gaming for gamers across the country to experience exceptional gaming.
