LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Through their
ongoing relationship, Immortals esports organization and
Progressive Insurance are reinvigorating a League of Legends
classic, the 1-versus-1 showmatch, and turning it up to 11. Running
September 20 - September 21, the
two-day Immortals 1v1 Showdown Presented by Progressive
brings top Champions to the Rift to benefit AbleGamers, a
non-profit organization dedicated to improving accessibility in the
video game space.
"Progressive shares our desire to engage with esports fans in
fun and exciting ways," said Jordan
Sherman, President and CCO at Immortals. "We're thrilled to
deliver on this mutual ambition with the Immortals 1v1 Showdown
Presented by Progressive."
The invite-only single elimination tournament will feature top
League of Legends professionals and influencers. Calling the 1v1
action will be veteran LCS casters David "Phreak" Turley, Julian
"Pastrytime" Carr, Sam "Kobe" Hartman-Kenzler, and Matt "Cubby"
Samuelson.
The winner of the tournament will have $10,000 (USD) donated to the charity, and
bragging rights as the first-ever champion of the Immortals 1v1
Showdown Presented by Progressive.
"Historically, the 1v1 format has been a community favorite with
both grassroots and professional League of Legends events,"
continues Sherman. "We see this as an opportunity to entertain fans
in between the end of the LCS season and start of Worlds by
celebrating top talent in the League of Legends scene, all in the
name of AbleGamers."
Fans can take in all the action on Immortals Twitch channel.
Progressive Insurance first collaborated with Immortals in
January 2021, the first foray into
esports for the insurance giant. Through a novel concept, the
creation of a satirical "faux" esports team named "Progressive
Gaming," Immortals and Progressive have produced an array of
content, including an original scripted series, to reach new
audiences.
Further details will continue to be announced as the tournament
approaches. Keep an eye on Immortals social channels for more
