As the first and only European platform in the esports sector, EURAT wants to combine gaming, content, talent promotion and the amateur league. Teams can now register for the tournament to start in 2021.

For the first time, amateur gamers can compete internationally on the new European e-sports platform EURAT (“European Amateur Tournament”). Young e-athletes from all over Europe have the chance to prepare for the professional league. But the platform also pursues a different approach: namely, the aim is to encourage young talent in all areas. The teams can now look forward to Eurat.gg register and log in as announced today.

Initially, however, only amateur gamers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as Sweden and France can access the tournament platform. Other countries are to follow later. In the first phase, EURAT only wants to offer the four most popular esports games: League of Legends, Rocket League, Fortnite and Valorant. The technology company “Stark Esports” developed and programmed EURAT specifically for the young target audience. A highly specialized team from the areas of esports, content creation, marketing and sponsoring was involved.

Promotion of young talent and inclusion at EURAT

According to its own statements, EURAT sees itself as a platform for a generation that lives diversity and inclusion. This includes, on the one hand, promoting young talent for e-athletes, commentators and content creators. On the other hand, this also applies to the creation of the “ParaRAT” special – for the first time, equal opportunities in e-sports should also apply to young people with physical disabilities. In addition, EURAT would like to include important current topics such as mental and physical health, bullying, racism and diversity. To this end, the platform works with the Swiss specialist organization “Pro Juventute”, among others.

Tournament start in January 2021

The platform wants to take the first steps with the first fun tournaments, events and social media campaigns in the coming weeks. According to the announcement, games will start at EURAT in January. The tournaments and the league start with a preselection in the individual European countries. The best teams will then compete against each other internationally until the best team in Europe is chosen in the final. All live broadcasts and compilations of the best moves should be on EURAT.gg and the social media channels Twitch and YouTube be visible.
