Appointment as production partner for Red Bull Home Ground Tournament

Gfinity (AIM: GFIN), a world-leading esports and gaming solutions provider,
today announces it has extended its long running partnership with Red Bull and
entered into a commercial agreement as the production partner for the third
edition of Red Bull Home Ground. The Valorant Invitational event will be held
at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, on December 9-11, 2022.

Gfinity is providing end to end production services to broadcast the live
event, along with providing the outside broadcasting TV facilities and
infrastructure. In addition, Gfinity & Red Bull partnered up for the
ideation and delivery of a comprehensive pre-event content plan to promote and
drive interest in the live event. This includes content shot in the UK and
Turkey to be distributed on Red Bull Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and YouTube.

The tournament format is unique to Red Bull. Eight teams from around the world
will be competing in a unique, map-focused competition. In the best-of-five
matches both teams pick a "home ground" to play on for the opening two
matches. If a team wins both opening "home" and "away" matches, they'll go
straight through - tie, and the best-of-five continues.

Red Bull Home Ground will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube.

Gfinity has delivered three events previously for the partner: Red Bull Kumite
2021, Red Bull Campus Clutch World Final Knockout Round 2021 and Worlds
Simplified 2020.

John Clarke, CEO Gfinity said: "We are excited to be working with Red Bull
again and continuing our long-term relationship. When you work with Red Bull
you can guarantee a collaborative and creative journey. The focus is on
presenting the game and the tournament in a fun and compelling way for the
players and fans. We love the challenge. Red Bull Home Ground 2022 will raise
the bar higher than ever before. Don't miss it!"
