Sponsors and Prizes

We are working with sponsors that are yet to be confirmed, these will be confirmed in due time and will be announced on our various platforms once we can! As London Esports will be planning this event I feel like it is only right that as a co-owner to put in £200 to kick-start the prize pool. This prize pool will increase before the final event, we will make sure to update you with any changes to the prize pool or charity pot!

As this is a charity event we will also be collecting money on behalf of Special Effect. We believe that Special Effect is a great charity and we are grateful for them to be doing what they do, so it is our pleasure to be able to help them in any way we can. For more information on Special Effect and what they do then visit their website at www.specialeffect.org.uk

To help raise money for the prize pool and charity, we will be selling tickets to attend the event. We have thought carefully about this and we see it as a great way to raise money without busting your bank. We will be charging £10 per ticket to attend the Red Bull Gaming Sphere as a spectator. You can purchase your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-london-cup-tickets-48590497486

Tickets are required on entry!

If you cannot attend this event but would still like to donate then we have started a GoFund me page for you! We appreciate any donation that you can: https://www.gofundme.com/the-london-cup

There will also be many other ways to offer to help us raise money for this event including apparel. We already have set up 2 T-Shirts with The London Cup logo on them. You can purchase these here: https://thelondoncup.bigcartel.com/products

We hope that the combined amount we make for the prize pool and for Special Effect will allow us to have a great day on the 8th September.

Stream

If you are unable to attend the event then we will be live streaming the live finals over on our Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/londoncup.

We will also be collecting donations there if you wish to donate to Special Effect at that time.
