The new gaming series will air completely online from September through to December 2020 and will feature popular online personalities from East Asia (South Korea and Japan) and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand).

Streamers will face off against one another in a variety of formats and game titles over several episodes competing for a total prize pool worth over US$20,000.

Acer and HP join AMD as anchor sponsors for the series, providing the latest in AMD-powered gaming hardware for streamers to compete on and sponsoring prizes and giveaways for viewers.

EPOS joins as the official gaming headset supplier, bringing a premium-quality audio experience to pair with AMD’s gaming experience.

The East Asia competition will be the AMD Streamer Challenge: Triple Threat, which will involve streamers from Japan and South Korea facing off against each other in a series of in-game challenges in one of this year’s hottest games – Valorant.

In Southeast Asia, the format will be the AMD Streamer Challenge: Domination where streamers will form teams with their fans, and represent their countries in a round-robin competition in both Valorant and Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout.

AMD sponsored pro team Fnatic will also make an appearance and Dota 2 fans will be able to sign up to play with or against them.

The AMD Streamer Challenge will comprise a total of 11 episodes, which will be broadcast on the official AMD Twitch channel, as well as on the AMD Streamer Challenge website. Southeast Asia episodes will be broadcast in English, Thai and Bahasa Indonesia, while East Asia episodes will be broadcast in Japanese and Korean.
