Medias First Morning Read

 

Thursday August 12, 2021

Good morning! This is your weekly Esports Brief.
Cxmmunity and Twitch are officially launching season two of the HBCU Esports League, and announced partnerships with Verizon and Discover for the coming year. The 22-week schedule to be aired on Twitch.tv/cxmmunity will begin on Aug. 18 at 7p and conclude on April 6, 2022, featuring 25 HBCUs who will compete in Madden and NBA2K.

“We’re incredibly proud to bring the HBCU Esports League back for its second season with the support of Twitch, Verizon and Discover,” said Ryan Johnson, co-founder and executive director for Cxmmunity. “This will continue building competition and galvanizing the community across our partner colleges and universities.”

“While 83% of Black teens play video games, opportunities are scarce for them to pursue careers in gaming, esports and STEM when they enroll in college. We hope our Esports League will further their passion and desire to engage in these areas as they navigate their academic journeys at their respective schools,” said Ryan Johnson, co-founder and executive director for Cxmmunity.

Participating HBCUs include Alabama A&M University, Claflin University, Clark Atlanta University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Fayetteville State University, Fort Valley State University, Hampton University, Howard University, Johnson C. Smith University, Langston University, Morehouse College, Morgan State University, Morris Brown College, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Oakwood University, Shaw University, South Carolina State University, Southern University, Tennessee State University, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore and Wilberforce University.

Verizon returns as a season partner, which includes its owned branded segment and a Celebrity Pro-Am Tournament to be determined in the coming weeks. Discover, meanwhile, joins the season as a new partner and will present the first-ever “Discover Bowl,” a Madden tournament to be held during the collegiate football bowl season. Along with the “Discover Bowl,” Discover will also sponsor its own branded segment, “Discover’s Cxmmunity Leader of the Week.”

COMPETITION
Multiple reports and sources shot down an article claiming that Overwatch League would be taking a year-long hiatus due to an apparent delay in the release of Overwatch 2. Dot Esports refuted the original article, stating that OWL “is assessing its options for 2022, including a potential extended offseason following the 2021 season and interim events that could include non-season-based tournaments.” Overwatch League VP Jon Spector also knocked the original GGRecon report, tweeting that the league has not determined its start date or plans for 2022 and does “not plan to take a ‘year-long hiatus.’”

The next major event in PUBG: Battlegrounds esports sees Krafton deliver the PUBG Continental Series 5 to North America, Europe, Asia, and Asia-Pacific regions with play spanning Sept. 16-Oct. 4 and a prize pool of $1 million.

Rosters for the 2021 NBA 2K League All-Star Game will consist of seven players from each of the Eastern and Western conference, and will be determined by a vote of fans, current NBA 2K League players, head coaches and general managers, and a media panel. The 2021 NBA 2K League All-Star Game will be a 5-on-5, best-of-three series with players competing on PS5 consoles in NBA 2K22’s Pro-Am mode. The NBA 2K League will award a $25,000 prize pool with the winning and losing team receiving $18,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Bandai Namco began rolling out plans for the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Championship with a new circuit. Online qualifiers, called the DBFZ World Championship Tenkaichi Online Challenge, will be made up of a slate of community tournaments around the world that will will award players with performance points that will decide who makes it to the Regional Finals, which take place in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The top players from those regional events will earn a spot at the DBFZ World Championship.

The EA SPORTS Madden NFL 22 Championship Series returns with some tweaks as top players compete in four MCS marquee tournaments closely tied in to key NFL season moments. The MCS 22 features the largest prize pool in franchise history with $1.65 million on the line and the Ultimate Madden Bowl season finale, played live in Los Angeles, dishing out $1 million of the season purse. Ultimate Kickoff begins the action from Aug. 21-Sept. 8, followed by Ultimate Thanksgiving from Oct. 2-Nov. 24 and Ultimate Wild Card, ending Jan. 14. The Ultimate Madden Bowl will then run Feb. 1-13.

With Delta spiking, Riot announced that all matches for the 2021 LCS Championship will now be held at the LCS Arena in Los Angeles instead of at the Prudential Center this year, noting “We scheduled the LCS Championship as a road show with fans and made the decision to move forward based on the very promising roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine in the Spring. However, over the past month, we’ve been closely monitoring the ongoing surge of COVID-19 cases across the United States. Given the current state of affairs, we cannot in good conscience conduct a massive fan event at this time.”

ESL Gaming detailed plans for ESL One Fall: Bootcamp Edition powered by Intel, which will see a dozen participating teams which qualified for The International 10 get a last chance to compete cross-regionally before this year’s event. The teams compete for a $400,000 prize pool, with competition spanning Aug. 21-29. “We are looking forward to giving teams an opportunity to test and sharpen their skills in preparation of TI10,” said Dirk Niemeyer, Senior Product Manager for Dota 2 at ESL Gaming. “But more importantly, we are looking at a highly competitive, US$ 400,000 tournament with top-tier teams and talents. It will be a great Dota 2 show.”

Kris “FaZe Swagg” Lamberson is bringing back Swagg’s Summer Invitational for Call of Duty: Warzone on Aug. 18, competing with gamers that include FaZe Booya, FaZe JSmooth, FaZe Santana, Aydan, Mutex, Tommey, newbz, almxnd, Jukeyz, Teepee and more.

Rally Cry revealed plans for season two of Air Force Gaming League, with USAA signed on a presenting sponsor. The global 12-week league will span 80 bases for three game titles. Currently AFG has over 17.5k verified Airmen (Air Force) and Guardians (Space Force).

STREAM HATCHET TRENDS
One of the biggest growing trends this past year has been the growth of non-gaming live streaming content. When the global shutdown put a pause on live events, music and sports were just some of the industries that utilized live streaming to adapt to virtual audiences. The communal, interactive nature of live streaming provides the audience with real time engagement and a more accessible venue compared to in-person events. A potentially larger audience and easy integration make live streaming platforms a great long-term home for these industries.

Here are key insights:
· Since the creation of the “Music” category on Twitch, the genre has generated over 250M watch hours.
· Non-gaming Twitch channels have produced over 4B hours watched since 2020.
· The “Sports” category on Twitch is the 3rd most popular non-gaming category in 2021 so far. Since 2020, “Sports” has generated over 108M hours watched.

SPONSORSHIP & ACTIVATION
Evil Geniuses announced a partnership with business, travel and performance luxury brand, TUMI, as the official luggage partner of Evil Geniuses that will see EG athletes equipped with signature TUMI product to protect their gear before they compete. In addition, EG players and talent will be featured in photo and video collateral as part of the promotion of TUMI’s professional esports collection.

A number of brands hit pause on activation in Overwatch League, following parent company Activision Blizzard’s recent harassment and discrimination lawsuit and allegations. State Farm and Coca-Cola became two of the latest brands reported to be reevaluating its partnerships, according The Washington Post (although Coca-Cola is still listed on their site as a partner) with State Farm declaring that it was “re-evaluating our limited marketing relationship with the Overwatch League”, while also requesting that no advertisements run during Overwatch matches over the past weekend. Other brands who also appear to have withdrawn, according to various reports, include T-Mobile (which also paused its Call of Duty League activation), IBM and Kellogg’s.
