09.01.16 It’s Thursday, September 1, 2016, and this is your weekly early morning eSports & Gaming brief.
As the business of eSports continues to swell, Andy Miller, co-owner of NRG as well as the Sacramento Kings, is calling for unionization and collective bargaining to help the community work with publishers. In an interview with IGN eSports, Miller stated that the industry is in need of formal organizations to represent their needs. Of course, last month, following relegation from the North American League Championship Series, NRG Esports terminated the contracts with its entire League of Legends lineup.
"If you look at LCS, look at how many different teams have played in that already and it’s pretty remarkable,” he said. “So I think what we’re gonna need to see is more organization among the teams and among the players themselves where there is maybe a union and a league of teams, collective bargaining agreements would be great, where we could really understand what the players needs are, what teams needs are, and then work with those publishers.”

"We’ve been excited and humbled by the response each time that we’ve shared new gameplay with everyone," said Founder of GT studio Polyphony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi. "However, as we approach our planned release date in November, we realize we need more time to perfect GT Sport, which we’ve already dedicated so much effort towards since announcing the title. We do not want to compromise the experience in any way. While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.”

"Virtual reality is an exciting new emerging platform that has the potential to enhance the way that interactive entertainment is created and experienced," said 2K SVP of Marketing Sarah Anderson. "As our first foray into this space, we wanted to deliver a highly accessible entertainment experience that would allow players to immerse themselves in the familiar, classic fun of our Carnival Games series.

HTC eSports stepped into the festering debate between Riot co-founder Marc Merrill and team owners in the League Championship Series, noting that it was mulling getting out of the LCS due to restrictions. The company posted on Facebook that “With less avenues for advertisement in League of Legends, stemming from the restrictions on the teams and players, restrictions on the subreddit, and the lack of available marketing opportunities at competitions, it is becoming difficult to justify our investments into the scene.” Amid calls for sponsor guidelines stemming from the controversy, Stuart Lipson, Executive Director of the eSports Ad Bureau, noted that “There are many tried and true tools and techniques that others have used that could be replicated or adapted. Examples include: sponsorship levels and entitlements based on those commitments, windows of different types either in terms of geography, ad or sponsorship type or other consideration.”
