Video game developer Red 5 Studios announces that it is planning to launch a special tournament series for its MMO Firefall on August 4, via a partnership with the Electronic Sports League.

The competition for Firefall will be offered in the European Union and the United States and the teams who take part will use the new game type called Jetball.

The Go4Firefall tournaments will run monthly and gamers will be able to get prizes worth up to 9,000 Euro or dollars.

Jetball involves teams of five players who try to fly or shoot a high tech ball to the goal area of their opponents.

The team states, “Because players can’t defend themselves while carrying the ball, teams must rely on passing and coordination, strategically using each Battleframe’s unique weapons, abilities and maneuverability to score.”

Team can sign up using the official tournament page.
