Gamers Lounge, an esports company located in Egypt, has teamed up with Red Bull for an online League of Legends tournament. The Red Bull ProSeed kicked off today on both EUW and EUNE servers, and will be played over the next six days. 

Gamers Lounge hosts tournaments all over the Middle East and North Africa regions, and hasn't let the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 stop them from finding new ways for teams to compete, and the Red Bull ProSeed is a shining example of such efforts. Gamers Lounge was selected by Red Bull as the Gaming Partner for the tournament, is hosting the Red Bull ProSeed stream on its Youtube channel.  

"[Gamers Lounge is] always looking to do more exposure for tournaments, events, teams and players in our region as we're always hoping to grow the esports scene and help the ecosystem build," said Gamers Lounge Co-Founder Hashem Alborno. 

The tournament, which as implied by the name is sponsored by Red Bull, and teams competing online from all around Egypt have been separated based on which European League of Legends server on which they are respectively playing the game. No entry fee was required from competitors, but the grand prize is 25,000 EGP — roughly $1600 — and the hiring of a professional Head Coach for the winning team in addition to the prize money.
