I was fortunate to get to be a part of the first dedicated summit on e-sports at GDC this year. It’s been a long time coming in my opinion and big kudos to Lil Chen, Patrick Miller, Frank Lantz, and Rod Breslau for organizing it.
Jesse Sell and I presented on collegiate e-sports and a video of the talk is currently free and available at the GDC Vault, as are a number of the other fantastic panels.
