ESPORTS IN REAL LIFE

THEY DREAM OFTEN. THEY DREAM BIG.

Esports IRL is the first behind the screen look at competitive esports at the amateur level and the incredible opportunities available to talented teens chasing their American Dream – to one day go pro.

The backdrop is Esports Tower’s INVITATIONAL, an intense boot camp-style training program that immerses high-potential teens ages 13-19 to the physical, mental, and emotional elements of preparing for pro-level gameplay.

Open entries were offered and gaming enthusiasts from around the world applied for bragging rights and the dream of getting recruited to play varsity at America’s leading Universities. Out of 10,000, 56 kids were invited to attend the INVITATIONAL.

SEASONAL LAN EVENTS

INVITATIONAL EVENTS

INVITATIONAL events are designed to develop high potential players. “High potential” means several things. For some, it means the ability to play at collegiate or pro levels. For others, they exhibited the grit that, if focused, could make them great. Others may have shown future coaching skills like insightfulness, collaboration or be pocket players. While others may be creative and have highly clever foundational skills to become content creators. Whatever the reason for their selection, players are invited to attend based on the belief that one day they could have a high potential career in the profession of esports.

9-18 MONTHS POST EVENT

PRODUCTION | EDITING

Each LAN event brings together different players, coaches, college recruiters and influencers. Until all event footage is reviewed, we don’t know what players will be featured or what stories will be told. Unscripted docuseries take time to edit into final episodes.
