Activision Blizzard is pulling in another heavyweight sports name, tapping FOX Sports executive Pete Vlastelica to serve as President and CEO of Major League Gaming where he will join Steve Bornstein and as Mike Sepso atop the eSports brand. Recently serving as FOX Sports’ Executive Vice President of Digital, Vlastelica will now be charged with expanding and enhancing the company’s broadcast, content and distribution leadership across the global eSports ecosystem.

“We continue to add to our all-star esports leadership team. Pete is an entrepreneurial leader with a history of creating inspired content and developing new digital channels of distribution,” said Bobby Kotick, Chief Executive Officer of Activision Blizzard. “As we continue to build MLG into the premier esports network, Pete will further our mission celebrating the accomplishments of gamers worldwide.”

“I’m joining MLG because of the rare combination of massive digital scale and deep audience engagement around competitive gaming, and because there’s no better category of live streaming video content out there,” said Vlastelica. “It’s clear that video games are the future of sports  and if any company is positioned to capitalize on this global opportunity, it’s Activision Blizzard. I’m thrilled to join the team.”

Japanese gaming pub 4Gamer reports that the combo of Aetas, Hearts United Group and Shochiku Broadcasting are investing $1 million into Evo Japan, partnering with SRKX Productions and that EVO Japan, LLC has now been established as a legal entity in the country with a formation date of late September. More info is expected to be revealed at Tokyo Game Show next week.

ELeague lined up its preliminary schedule for its second season, with Valve’s Counter Strike; Global Offensive once again in the crosshairs.

ESL and Nintendo are dangling a shiny new NX for players to compete in the newly-launched weekly ESL Go4Splatoon tournaments, which begin on Sunday. The six-month season of tournaments will culminate in a grand final showdown, where the winning team from each month’s cup battling to win Nintendo’s next video game system, aka NX.

Blizzard will reportedly turn to The eSports Association to play host to a year-long collegiate competition for both Overwatch and Hearthstone, according to the eSports Observer, continuing ties between the two parties that includes Heroes of the Dorm.

Meanwhile, the Collegiate StarLeague opened its doors for the 2016-17 season of its eSports run. Players are now able to enter college-level tournaments for titles that include StarCraft 2, League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Vainglory throughout September with competing teams and players able to win cash and scholarship prizes with pools hitting as much as $50,000. Play begins the second week of October with playoffs spanning March 18-April 8. Last week, CSL released a statement saying that the Hearthstone and Overwatch tournaments had been canceled at Blizzard’s request.

Speaking of Overwatch, MSI MGA laid out plans for an annual international tournament for the Blizzard title with a prize pool of $75,000 offered to the four best teams from America, Europe and Asia before competing in London for the grand final, which will be offered live on MSI Twitch channels.

The increase is attributed to higher-than-anticipated investment by publishers and a faster uptake of the media rights business model within the eSports economy, creating a shift from direct advertising income to media partnerships comparable to traditional sports.

Organizers of the virtual ePrix in Las Vegas detailed plans for the upcoming eSports event with 10 gamers set to face off against Formula E drivers in January with a prize pool of $1 million. Series CEO Alejandro Agag told Reuters that the lucky 10 would secure their places through online qualifying races dubbed the ‘Road to Vegas Challenge’.

Vainglory now has Cloud9 in the fold, with the team’s acquisition of Nemesis Hydra, one of the longest-running competitive organizations in the game’s history and the only North American team to make Semifinals/Grand Finals Day of every seasonal championship to date. The team will compete as Cloud9 in this weekend’s 2016 North America Summer Live Championships.

UKI Games are making a push into eSports with the unveiling of the first Dash Legends World Championship this fall.

Meanwhile, Mario is also running to the iPhone. Nintendo announced that the face of the brand will star in Super Mario Run for the platform and iPhone via an action platformer developed specifically for mobile, available on the App Store in December. The game will see Mario continually run forward while the player guide him to “jump over obstacles, avoid pesky enemies and capture the flag pole to complete levels. “The App Store has made so many things better in our lives  the way we communicate, the way we work and the way we have fun,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “But for gamers of all ages, the story just hasn’t been complete without Mario, so we are thrilled that Nintendo is bringing him to iOS for the first time this December.”

POWER PLAYERS: Jeff Baker, VP of Brand Experience @ Arby’s

[] 
As an official partner of ELeague for both its debut and second seasons, Arby’s made a play for authenticity as the brand looked to put down roots within the eSports community. With activations that included having some of the world’s top Dota 2 players take their shot (literally) at gunning down an Arby’s sandwich, the company is now looking to capitalize on its momentum with the new season. Cynopsis eSports & Gaming spoke with Jeff Baker, VP of Brand Experience about the company’s experiences in the space.

On leveraging eSports: We’ve learned through social media engagement that our guests are fans of gaming and eSports. Our team at Arby’s also has passion for gaming, so we are able to produce content that isn’t forced, and our guests have been very appreciative of that. The ELeague partnership particularly offered us a unique opportunity to be a part of building a program for eSports and CS:GO that was a natural next step in our engagement with gamers.

On its approach: We knew that a boiler plate “sponsored by” program would not work. Our approach was to speak the gamer language without it coming off inauthentic. That’s where our genuine love for gaming came into play. We were able tap actual gamers and eSports fans at Arby’s and across our agencies to create content and activations that resonated with eSports fans, while helping us stand out from other brands in the space

On the biggest takeaways: A key takeaway is validation that eSports is a thriving sector of the gaming world with passionate fans that rival the loyalty of traditional sports. We also reinforced that is a space that makes sense for Arby’s. eSports fans showed their appreciation for a brand that gets them and doesn’t try too hard.

TECH

First, it marks a major increase in productivity performance, streaming video and eSports gaming experiences sought after by today’s consumers, delivered through our new 7th Generation AMD A-Series desktop processors. Second, because these new OEM designs also feature our new AM4 desktop platform, the motherboard ecosystem shows its readiness for our upcoming high-performance “Summit Ridge” desktop CPUs featuring “Zen” cores, which share the same platform,” said Kevin Lensing, Corporate VP and GM of Client Computing at AMD.
