We're incredibly excited to officially confirm that Method has joined Gfinity Elite Series and will be one of eight world-class organizations to compete across Rocket League, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Street Fighter V, live from the Gfinity Arena in the U.K.
We are thrilled to have been invited to join the Gfinity Elite Series as one of the founding franchisee teams. We are big fans of the league model employed which offers stability, sustainability, and great exposure for all brands and players involved. We are particularly happy about the open and rewarding structure of the league towards players and we are excited to discover and achieve great things with some of the up and coming talent.

Gfinity is a leading U.K. based esports business that enables gamers from around the world to watch and participate in gaming tournaments both online and live at the Gfinity Arena in the U.K. With the recent announcement of the Elite Series (as well as their Challenger Series), Gfinity aims to propel esports globally and raise awareness of it as a competitive spectator sport. Microsoft, Activision, EA, Xbox, Gillette and HP are among the brands already working with Gfinity.
Method are such an exciting addition for us to add to our Elite Series line up. They bring not only huge talent from their players but they share our vision to grow the UK esports scene and take it to the next level. They are also one of the most watched teams on Twitch.tv, so we’re excited to open up the world of Gfinity to their huge fan base too.
- Neville Upton, CEO, Gfinity plc
As the seventh team to be announced by Gfinity for the Elite Series, Method will begin competition in July against other world-class organizations such as exceL eSports, Reason Gaming, Prophecy, Team Infused, Team Endpoint and Team EnVyUs. The final team is due to be announced promptly.
Over the next few weeks we will be looking to set up strong teams for CS:GO, Rocket League and Street Fighter V. This is an exciting time for everyone at Method and I hope our fans and supporters will be happy to watch us develop into the UK esports scene.

We look forward to announcing the rest of our team line up for Gfinity soon.
