It’s Thursday, May 19, 2016, and this is your weekly early morning eSports & Gaming brief.
Google unveiled new plans in the VR gaming space at I/O yesterday, entitled Daydream, that will serve as a dedicated VR hub in the Play Store and offer immersive mobile gaming content from companies such as EA, Ubisoft and others in addition to content partners that include Hulu, Netflix and IMAX. The company is also revving up a platform-ready headset and wireless controller as part of the initiative that is entrenched into Android N with a target launch for the fall.
“VR should be mobile, approachable and for everyone," said Clay Bavor, VP of Product and head of VR for Google at the event. "But there’s a limit to how immersive an experience you can do with phones and Cardboard."
COMPETITION
Analysts had positive thoughts about Activision Blizzard’s plans to leverage Facebook Live for its eSports offerings. The company’s Newfront presentation saw the company unveil plans to offer live content daily, including match highlights, statistics, expert commentary and player interviews on the MLG page. Videos will echo the SportsCenter theme with broadcasts powered by the MLG.tv streaming platform. Activision also announced new broadcast tools designed to give fans more information to viewers during eSports events, dubbed the enhanced viewer experience aka EVE. “This marks an important step given Activision’s broader ambitions as a media/entertainment company, and is a natural evolution of the Major League Gaming assets acquired early this year,” Baird analyst Colin Sebastian said in a research report Thursday, per Investor’s Business Daily.
The formation of the World Esports Association, created with the backing of eSports teams and ESL, will look to offer “an open and inclusive organization that will further professionalize eSports by introducing elements of player representation, standardized regulations, and revenue sharing for teams” in addition to predictable schedules for fans, players, organizers and broadcasters. A total of eight teams have contributed to the formation of WESA so far, including Fnatic, Natus Vincere, EnVyUs, Virtus.Pro, G2 Esports, Faze, Mousesports and Ninjas in Pyjamas. Pietro Fringuelli will take on the role of the Interim League Commissioner. When Gamespot asked Fringuelli about the need for team to be independent from the organization, he stated, “What we tried to do was build this triangle of governance; most of the time the leagues have more of an aligned interest with the actual players, and the teams sometimes have more of an aligned interest with the players than the league, and we are trying to balance that out.”
Blizzard Entertainment is stepping up plans to deal with harassment on Twitch, following an incident involving African-American Hearthstone gamer Terrence ‘TerrenceM’ Miller, who was racially targeted by some commenters during a livestream recently. Blizzard President Michael ‘Mike’ Morhaime issued a statement about the incident, telling Polygon that, "We’re extremely disappointed by the hateful, offensive language” used by some of the online viewers during the event. Twitch, meanwhile, stated that the company was “exploring new tools and processes to increase awareness and mitigation of these issues, and will continue to take action against chatters who committed reported violations”
Endemol Shine Beyond USA is launching the first-ever Legends of Gaming fantasy league, with fans able to visit the Smasher website and authenticate via Facebook to enter the contest for the chance to prizes. The league will see contestants given the opportunity to choose the winner for 8 games, including episodes 17 – 24 as player legends battle it out in Rocket League, CS:GO, Towerfall Ascension, Black Ops 3 and more. Entries must be complete by May 23. "Digital media enables content creators to make the lean back experience active, so we wanted to take advantage of that and give our incredible ‘Legends of Gaming’ audience an opportunity to truly participate in the show," Matthew Forrest, VP, Production & Operations, Endemol Beyond USA. "Fantasy leagues are a fun way to build a community and make the traditional experience active and engaging for fans."
Take-Two Interactive unveiled a new streaming service that will showcase The Road to the Finals via 2K StreamCast on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The platform will allow audiences to watch the top 2K Pro-Am teams compete for the winner’s share of the $250,000 top prize.
Electronic Arts is bringing UFC into the eSports scene, announcing a new competitive experience in UFC 2 Live Events mode that allows fans around the world to play for the chance at trips, cash and a title belt. Fans can enter the qualifiers in the Live Event Competition to compete for a chance to earn Ultimate Team rewards and a trip to the live finals coinciding with the UFCFan Expo andUFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 in Las Vegas with the winner of the grand final match taking home $10,000.
MLG is teaming with Gears of War and The Coalition to host the Gears eSports MLG North American Open in Columbus at the MLG Arena from July 30 31. Up to 32 Pro and Amateur teams will compete for a $30,000 prize pool. 30 teams from North America will qualify for the tournament by MLG Pro Points awarded per player via GameBattles Team Ladder and 2000 Series Weekly Online Tournaments.

FC Schalke 04 made it official, announcing the acquisition of its own League of Legends LCS team. Starting June 2, the new roster will compete against the best European teams in the League of Legends Championship Series. “We acted quickly in order to be able to participate in the upcoming summer split. Our players are hungry for success, talented and passionate about every match they play”, says Tim Reichert, Head of eSports at Schalke. “By completely integrating a team of professional eSports contestants into our club structures we are aiming to set new standards for the scene.”

"Through this partnership with Twitch, we are excited to bring together two brands that have a deep sense of camaraderie and energy," said Greg Lyons, senior vice president, marketing, AMP Energy. "AMP brings flavor to the energy category so that fans can enjoy the great taste of their energy drinks while they fuel up.

Speaking of movies, Nintendo will push into the film business with reports that the company is plotting feature films featuring characters from its Super Mario and Zelda franchises. In an interview with the Asahi newspaper, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima stated that the company in talks with multiple partners and plans to oversee production and produce its own films instead of licensing characters.
Meanwhile, Threshold Entertainment’s film adaptation of the staple puzzler Tetris will move forward as a trilogy. Deadline reports the movie is "billed as a sci-fi thriller" with filming slated to begin next year in China with a Chinese cast.

"Rich Hilleman is a pioneer a creative mind whose work influenced many games at EA and beyond," John Reseburg, EA corporate spokesman, told Polygon. "We are thankful to Rich for his contribution over more than 30 years with the company, and we look forward to seeing what he pursues next."
POWER PLAYERS: TURTLE BEACH
After first connecting with gamers 10 years ago, audio technology company Turtle Beach is now diving even deeper into the eSports space, recently announcing the launch of the Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament Gaming Headset, Elite Pro Tactical Audio Controller (T.A.C.) and Elite Pro accessories line designed for competitive gamers and locking in OpTic Gaming to sport the line as their official gaming audio gear of choice.
Cynopsis asked Andrew Lilien, Vice President of Marketing at Turtle Beach Corp. about the company’s history with gamers, the keys to connecting and its new foray into eSports.
Lilien on the gaming community: Our personal relationships with gamers really developed in 2011 when we kicked-off our partnership with Activision to produce officially licensed Call of Duty headsets for Modern Warfare 3. From there, more licensed product partnership opportunities began to build, via future Call of Duty releases, Disney Infinity, EA for Titanfall and Lucasfilm Star Wars properties, as well as numerous cross promotional programs with other leading publishers.
On opportunities in eSports: We’ve also spent the past five years building up relationships with eSports and livestreaming industry leaders such as MLG and Twitch. We now anticipate taking our relationship with gamers even further with the release of the Elite Pro, our recently announced eSports headset created for competitive gamers. The Elite Pro’s advancements in gaming headset comfort and performance has led us to partnerships with top eSports teams including OpTic Gaming, who are now wearing the Elite Pro at home when they practice, when they compete, etc.
On marketing tactics: The most important tactic when marketing to gamers (well, really when marketing to any audience) whether serious, hardcore competitive gamers or simply casual gamers is to be genuine and authentic. To not speak to them as marketers trying to speak to gamers, but to be gamers talking to other gamers (who just also happen to do marketing for a gaming headset company). We want engage with gamers about what our headsets offer them from a features and functionality standpoint, and talk about it in a way that matters to us, and to them.
On activation: We’re creating authentic, organic content with and through our partners, who are some of the leading and influential eSports teams in the world, such as OpTic Gaming and another soon to be revealed partnership. This content is focused on the features and functionality that make the Elite Pro stand out from the rest of the market like our Pro Specs Glasses Relief System which finally makes it comfortable for gamers who wear glasses to wear a headset, or the cooling gel-infused memory foam in the Elite Pro’s ear cushions, or one of another dozen other features that make the Elite Pro a unique and innovative offering from Turtle Beach.
