Wijayatilake hopes that these partnerships will help put esports on the radar for everyone, not just gamers. The organization is also working with the Sri Lanka Esports Association to create a national esports brand that the country can get behind. He said Gamer.LK is “helping brands connect with Sri Lankan gamers through esports events, which further increases visibility and helps build the ecosystem.” Image via: Pixabay Plans Beyond the Esports Premier Leagueįor Wijayatilake, creating high-visibility events like the Esports Premier League is the first big step. “With LKR 1 million (£ 3,654) up for grabs, and the chance to play with Sri Lanka’s top esports talent, we’ve created a clear pathway for any aspiring esports athlete to reach the top and be rewarded for it,” Wijayatilake added. The top nine teams will move to the ‘Super Weekends’ which will lead up to the Grand Final.
Once teams have decided their lineups, they will compete against each other in the playoffs stage. Wijayatilake said the format will “help uncover hidden talent that would usually not rise to the top, as well as provide a great spectator experience in the playoffs with the 12 franchise teams.” Additionally, the top 60 players from the open qualifiers will get selected into the 12 franchised teams via an auction. There are open qualifiers that will allow any player to compete solo and qualify for the event. When asked why Gamer.LK opted for a franchised league format instead of an open competition, Wijayatilake revealed that the league is a mix of both.

Gamer.LK’s goal is to create more visibility in this year’s league and hopefully bring a shift in perception for esports in the region that will encourage the youth to start careers in esports. He believes that the mentors, who boast sporting careers spanning decades, “would be great candidates to pass on their experiences, sportsmanship, and values” to players to help them do their best in a competitive setting. Six cricketing legends will be joining the esports league as mentors to create interest and awareness and help us along in our journey.” Wijayatilake said the organisation is “pushing hard to make esports one of the most popular sports in Sri Lanka and the wider South Asian region, in terms of interest and viewership. Wijayatilake revealed that the main objective of bringing in some of the biggest names in cricket was to bring visibility to esports in the region.
