Local e-sports team The Guild claimed the top prize in a Call of Duty tournament, held by Paradise Mobile in partnership with Esports Bermuda Ltd.

The team, made up of Sean Burgess, Chris Ahmed Hill, Denishun Furbert and Daeshun Pitt, claimed victory in the competition last month, solidifying their reputation as one of the island’s top teams.

An Esports Bermuda spokesman said: “The tournament drew out several local players and spectators, creating a high-energy competitive atmosphere.

“There were some embarrassing moments, captured during the online Twitch stream, which the players all shared with sportsmanship and camaraderie that have become hallmarks of Bermuda’s emerging e-sports scene.

“Paradise Mobile, who generously hosted the event, shared enthusiasm for the wider vision behind Esports Bermuda’s development efforts.

“The company expressed strong support for the long-term goal of building one or more national e-sports teams capable of representing Bermuda on the global stage.”

Esports Bermuda Ltd is organising another Call of Duty tournament for March, along with events focused on other popular competitive game franchises such as Tekken, Street Fighter and others.
