theScore esports

We've kicked off a brand new content experience surrounding the biggest event in esports thanks to our new partnership with Progressive Insurance! It has already begun with a new feature-length ICONICS documentary that looks at the most iconic moments in League of Legends history. In many ways, our esports journey started with League of Legends, and Worlds has defined many of the twists and turns that have come since. Throughout the tournament, we'll provide regular updates on the top storylines, on-the-ground looks into the action and fan-featured short-form content. We'll tie it all together with an exclusive documentary after the event that will chronicle the entire event like only theScore esports can. Again, thanks to our sponsor Progressive for helping us bring our fans an unrivalled content experience surrounding the biggest event in esports.

These days, it feels like video games are becoming TV shows or movies all the time - but it's rare to see it done right. Watch as Keith Capstick unpacks what actually makes a good adaptation in today's episode of Deep Dive! #thescoreesports #gaming #creator #business

theScore esports is heading to #TwitchCon in style next week 🔥

In this weeks Run it Down, Keith Capstick unpacks to two of the biggest stories in the world of gaming: 🎮 Valve’s new game, Deadlock, is taking over the gaming and streaming world   It’s not officially launched yet, but Valve has started to allow people to stream and talk about the game publicly and early indications suggest that people absolutely love this game. It’s the first arena shooter game MOBA that is actually good  It’ll be exciting to see if this game will push into the pro esports scene and establish it’s own competitive ecosystem.  🥇 Chinese Valorant team Edward Gaming wins Valorant Champions! EDG defeated team Heretics in the finals, which many are saying was the best international finals in the history of the game. Valorant is proving itself to be one of the most global esports in the world and the game really feels like it represents just how far esports can reach right now. As always, thanks for tuning into another episode of #RunItDown and be sure comment your thoughts or stories you want featured! 🙏 #esports #gaming #thescore #valorant #deadlock

The best sponsorships bring something that wouldn't otherwise exist without them. For nearly a decade, theScore esports has made its name by bringing fans documentaries that combine endemic storytelling with high production value. That said, we typically have to rely on fair use footage and remote interviews to create them. But sometimes a partner helps us take things to another level -- and this month Cash App did just that for the Evolution Championship Series. This partnership enabled our team to travel to Las Vegas to document the tournament in-person -- building the story as it was developing, capturing first-party footage, and interviewing the casters and players as the tournament was happening -- including Arslan Ash as he completed the otherworldly accomplishment of a fifth #Tekken Evo title. The result was our latest exclusive documentary that will serve as the definitive piece on this historic run -- one not only beloved by the fighting game community, but as you can see below, Arslan himself. Check it out for yourself here: https://lnkd.in/g-dP6G2w #Evo #FGC #ArslanAsh

Technology and esports will forever be linked.     As PC hardware and peripherals improve, so do the games, and the players who dominate them.     Last week, on our news show ‘Don’t @ Me’ Devin Coull did a deep dive on Razer’s Snap Tap keyboard tech and its potential impact on the competitive integrity of first-person shooter gameplay.     Snap Tap allows you to prioritize the latest input on a key, without having to release the previous one, which makes techniques like counter-strafing seamless in-game. Some tournament organizers (including Valve) have deemed this to reduce the challenge of this refined in-game skill and have banned it from their tournaments.     1️⃣ It’s important that at the highest level, players are awarded for their mastery of the games, so acting on features like this that can potentially reduce a game’s skill cap benefits the competitive environment    2️⃣ That in mind, this is really cool technology that can benefit casual-competitive players and make their lives easier 3️⃣ Esports will continue to have to balance this relationship between tech and competition going forward    4️⃣ Tech is undeniably tied to the advancement of the scene, and adapting when possible while maintaining competitive integrity at the highest level is crucial in the future #thescore #esports #business #news #technology
