Mercedes-Benz celebrates two years of partnership with ESL with a new video clip
Mercedes-Benz and ESL have been driving forward the development of eSports together for two years. Fans of the game Dota 2 can enjoy a new video clip this year at ESL One Hamburg. The Mercedes-Benz EQC (combined electrical consumption: 20.8-19.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km)[1], representing the departure into a new era of mobility, will be depicted in close conjunction with mysterious characters from the world of gaming. As they watch the film the viewers become immersed in a world of light and shade in which the game and reality start to intermingle.
When the partnership between Mercedes-Benz and the ESL started, the Stuttgart brand established the Mercedes-Benz Most Valuable Player (MVP), a format in which the fans and a jury of experts determine the best player in the tournament via an online poll. At ESL One Hamburg the prize will again be handed over to the MVP by a cosplayer. The MVP can look forward to a new Mercedes‑Benz worth 50,000 euros.
[p"Two years ago the Mercedes-Benz MVP was created to offer another added value to fans and players", says ESL CEO Ralf Reichert, as the tournament approaches. "The MVP vote has become a firm part of our ESL One tournaments and is a competition highlight for the Dota 2 community. We are proud that we have established this authentic format together with Mercedes-Benz"[/p]Alongside the Mercedes-Benz MVP, the brand with the star has implemented numerous other initiatives within the ESL framework which have received a positive response from the eSports community. The fans have actively experienced in-car gaming, in which they were able to play the "SuperTuxKart" game on the vehicle’s display. The game is controlled with the steering wheel and the pedals.
[p"For us the eSports community is a very exciting target group with a high affinity to future mobility", says Bettina Fetzer, Mercedes-Benz marketing boss. "That’s why we are really looking forward to ESL One Hamburg this year, as well as to the fans’ enthusiasm and the Mercedes-Benz MVP award"[/p]In addition to the MVP presentation, the Mercedes-Benz stand is another highlight of ESL One Hamburg. Its design features elements from the film and enables visitors to transform themselves into Dota 2 characters through impressive light/shadow installations. There is also the opportunity to play interactive games with and against one another at various gaming stations. As part of ESL One Hamburg there will also be a panel of invited guests from the eSports sector taking part in a talk on the topic of "Professionalisation in eSports".
