  • Sports & Esports the Competitive Dream Team
    SPORTS & ESPORTS THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM JULIANA KORANTENG Editor-in-Chief/Founder MediaTainment Finance (UK) SPORTS & ESPORTS: THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM 1.THE CROSSOVER: WHAT TRADITIONAL SPORTS CAN BRING TO ESPORTS Professional football, soccer, baseball and motor racing have endless decades worth of experience in professionalising, commercialising and monetising sporting activities. In fact, professional-services powerhouse KPMG estimates that the business of traditional sports, including commercial and amateur events, related media as well as education, academic, grassroots and other ancillary activities, is a US$700bn international juggernaut. Furthermore, the potential crossover with esports makes sense. A host of popular video games have traditional sports for themes. Soccer-centric games include EA’s FIFA series and Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer. NBA 2K, a series of basketball simulation games published by a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, influenced the formation of the groundbreaking NBA 2K League in professional esports. EA is also behind the Madden NFL series plus the NHL, NBA, FIFA and UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) games franchises. Motor racing has influenced the narratives in Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo from Sony Interactive Entertainment, while Psyonix’s Rocket League melds soccer and motor racing. SPORTS & ESPORTS THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM SPORTS & ESPORTS: THE COMPETITIVE DREAM TEAM In some ways, it isn’t too much of a stretch to see why traditional sports should appeal to the competitive streaks in gamers. Not all those games, several of which are enjoyed by solitary players, might necessarily translate well into the head-to-head combat formats associated with esports and its millions of live-venue and online spectators.

  • Team Renault Vitality Ready to Conquer the World Title of F1® Esports
    TEAM RENAULT VITALITY READY TO CONQUER THE WORLD TITLE OF F1® ESPORTS ● Renault Vitality is strengthening its team for the F1® Esports Series 2020 ● A training centre called Renault V.Performance has been created and is located in the heart of the Stade de France. ● Renault Sport Racing's expertise in building performance will be offered to all Vitality esports teams. Paris (France), 09 October 2020 - Team Vitality and the Renault Group are preparing for the launch of the new F1® Esports season next month. Earlier this year, the two French brands announced the signing of coach Richard Arnaud and French driver Nicolas Longuet to their Renault Vitality team. They have since been joined by two other drivers in Enstone, at the heart of the Renault DP World F1® Team, to benefit from an optimal physical and technical preparation. Renault Vitality engaged the services of Fabrizio Donoso and Casper Jansen during the F1® Esports Series Pro Draft day. The former is a Chilean driver who secured a very fine 2nd place in the 2017 World Championships. He is returning this season with the desire to continue playing a leading role. The latter is a very young Dutch driver who is only 17 and has great potential. The team will officially start the season on 14 October at the first event of the 2020 F1® Esports Series calendar. In this desire to help performance development within Team Vitality, Renault will also append its name to the brand new Renault V.Performance.
