Esports dedicated Division launched by ESPN

After running trials of broadcasting Esports tournaments and creating new employment opportunities in the gaming sector, ESPN has announced its launch of “ESPN Esports”, an internal division solely dedicated for the telecast of the lucrative competitive gaming.

ESPN’s gaming content will feature on a special hub on ESPN’s website. ESPN.com editor-in-chief Chad Millman stated that you can expect ESPN’s efforts in the gaming world to be of “the same level of quality content and journalism that users of EPSN.com have to expect.”

ESPN Esports will include “in-depth looks at the competitive gaming world and on-site reporting from the major tournaments.” ESPN Esports has revealed its new logo(above) too.

The formation of this division is a direct consequence of the company’s planned forays into the world of competitive gaming. ESPN3 broadcasted the tournaments at BlizzCon and Valve’s The International. ESPN2 also aired the final of the “Heroes of the Dorm” tournament last year.

ESPN The magazine had also released an “Esports issue” in May 2015. The official twitter account for ESPN Esports is here
