Look Sports Media – NetEase Games has just dropped a bombshell on the Marvel Rivals competitive scene: the Ignite tournament, boasting a staggering $3 million prize pool – the largest in the game’s history. This global spectacle, set to ignite in May 2025, will see teams from the Americas, EMEA, China, Asia, and Oceania vying for the championship title and a life-changing $1 million grand prize. The announcement trailer, voiced by the iconic "Epic Voice Guy" Jon Bailey (also the voice of Jeff in the game), sent shockwaves through the community.
While the specifics remain shrouded in mystery – the format, qualification process (open or invite-only), and further details are yet to be revealed – the sheer scale of the prize pool dwarfs previous events. The Marvel Rivals Invitationals, with its $500,000 spread across regional events, now pales in comparison, as does xQc’s $250,000 streamer tournament.
This mega-event has already sparked excitement amongst UK players. Strategists Harvey "hxrvey" Scattergood (100 Thieves) and Max "fate" Currie (Luminosity Gaming EU) are potential contenders, bringing their considerable experience and championship titles to the international stage. However, the timing may prove unfortunate for pro player "Ghasklin," currently on a break from FlyQuest, who expressed his disappointment on X (formerly Twitter).
