Gfinity Australia will exit the esports industry this year due to a perceived lack of growth in the local gaming scene.<\/p>\n

The firm launched in 2017 when Here, There & Everywhere (HT&E), an Australian multimedia company, acquired the rights to operate under the UK-based Gfinity brand.<\/p>\n

Instead of entering teams into existing esports leagues<\/a>, HT&E developed the Gfinity Elite Series competitions for Counter-Strike, Rocket League and Street Fighter V.<\/p>\n

Established esports organisations such as Avant Gaming, Chiefs, Ground Zero and Order participated in those events, while Gfinity operated two teams: Brisbane Deceptors and Sydney Roar.<\/p>\n

The CS:GO and Street Fighter leagues closed after two years, however, while the newly launched Gfinity Supercars Eseries simulated racing competition will not last beyond its first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
