Cynopsis Esports spoke with Adam Rosen, President and co-founder of Tespa and Esports Program Manager at Blizzard about the organization’s growth, the NCAA and the opportunities ahead.
 
Rosen on the state of collegiate esports: The landscape if very different now compared to when we founded Tespa and the perception of esports continues to grow. One of the things that we are seeing is that – in the beginning – people were more resistant to calling themselves a gamer. Now, they are proud of being a competitor. We have students coming to us and it is growing by leaps and bounds. Meanwhile, the universities have taken notice with the way they are socializing and engaging with each other. They are also finally recognizing this as a legitimate sport. One of the things that we are trying to do is to make esports a fundamental part of culture and universities are trying to attach themselves to that now.
 
On the NCAA and regulation: It is something that we think a lot about and there are a lot of groups that we could be partnering with. One of the things that we are focused on is to create the best experience for students possible along with providing students opportunities. We now see the NCAA talk about esports and more and more conferences are getting involved as well and, for now, we will continue to make sure we are in the best position to represent the interests of the player as these discussions grow.
 
On proudest moment of 2017: One of the things I was most proud of was the growth that we saw. We are giving out over $1 million in scholarships to students. One of the biggest challenges for students in gaming has been to find a way to pay for their education and focus on their academics without having to worry or work. I’m also proud of the universities that we are starting to engage. When we first started Tespa, some of the schools we spoke with wanted to pretend that this community didn’t exist. But in 2017, we made a significant amount of progress working with universities to showcase their esports community, honoring them when they win, and recognizing the efforts that their students were putting in.
 
On partnering with the Fiesta Bowl: We are looking for partners who believe what we believe, that esports provide a fundamental value toward the student experience. We started talking to the Fiesta Bowl in 2017 and they shared a lot of the same beliefs that we did about how esports can grow. One thing led to another and we thought that their skillset of creating these high-quality sports experiences presented an opportunity for us that we wanted to capitalize on.
