Chipotle Shifts eSports Competition Online

Newport Beach-based restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill says it is shifting its eSports competition, the 2020 Chipotle Challenger Series, into an online tournament format. The eSports tournament--which was in person in Dallas, Texas last year--will include both professional gamers and celebrities, and will offer up $50,000 in prizes and free Chipotle for a year. The company said the eSports tournament will have a finale on April 25th, which will be broadcast on Twitch and YouTube. The first competition is on Monday.
