The Brawlhalla World Championship, organized by Ubisoft, is partnering with the not-for-profit foundation Make-A-Wish and Atlanta-based esports production company Skillshot Media. This collaboration aims to provide incentives for players to donate to the charity during the Brawlhalla World Championship.
During the tournament, players who make donations to Make-A-Wish will be rewarded with in-game items, encouraging support for the cause. The championship comprises singles and doubles competitions. In addition to in-game titles and avatars for donating Brawlhalla players, the highest donor each day will be rewarded with a 'unique collectible item.'
Through the tournament, Make-A-Wish will be able to connect with the esports community in a more personal and accessible fashion. The organization also recently partnered with Ghost Gaming and Skillshot Media back in April 2023.
