"Over the last four installments of the Soldier Showdown, we have seen how friendly competition and community building can strengthen the bonds among our servicemen and women," said Justin Kenna, CEO, GameSquare. "We're incredibly proud of our continued collaboration with the U.S. Army and are looking forward to expanding our partnership to make a positive impact on those who serve."

Kicking off May 6, 2023, Soldier Showdown 5 will offer active duty U.S. Army personnel an opportunity to compete head-to-head in a trio of popular game titles across three months - Multiversus in May, Rocket League in July, and Call of Duty: Warzone in September. Top-ranked players in each title will advance to the live finals at Complexity's headquarters, the Lenovo Legion Esports Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, in November 2023.

"Gaming has always been an amazing way to connect with people all over the world, but its power to build morale and strengthen bonds within the U.S. Army is especially noteworthy," said SSG Cody Mackall, U.S. Army Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers representative. "Soldier Showdown is a favorite amongst our Soldiers, and we are thrilled to renew our partnership with Complexity to help create even more opportunities for our Soldiers to compete and forge a closer connection with one another. The Soldier Showdown Series is a perfect way to demonstrate our commitment to the 'Be All You Can Be' Army campaign!"

Soldier Showdown 5 is part of Complexity and the U.S. Army's long-standing partnership. Now in its fifth year, the tournament series highlights the pair's commitment to fostering teamwork and camaraderie through gaming. New to this year's partnership, Complexity will utilize market leading analytics tool, Stream Hatchet, to measure the performance of the competition. With the addition of new tools and the return of the finals to the Lenovo Legion Esports Center after a two-year hiatus, Complexity anticipates that participation in Soldier Showdown 5 will increase compared to previous years.

Registration is now open exclusively for active-duty U.S. Army soldiers, Army National Guard, Army Reserve, and active duty military stationed on Army joint bases at www.armymwr.com/esports. Weekly matchups will be streamed on Army Entertainment's official Twitch channel.
