Exeter College hosted the first South-West corporate esports tournament in the region, with 16 teams from major organizations and businesses taking part. The knockout competition, attended by the Exeter Chiefs team, was streamed live for people to tune in remotely, while also displayed on the large onsite screen. Locals hope that the exposure from this tournament will be beneficial for its technology and business sectors.
“Esports is an incredibly important sector for so many reasons,” said Don Armand, Chiefs member. “Whether you look at it from a business, participant or spectator point of view, or whether you are young or old, new to gaming or a seasoned gamer, esports is going to develop in a fantastic way. The new tech, businesses, tournaments, and the market as a whole is very exciting, with so much potential.”
Tech is already the fastest-growing part of the South West economy with esports expected to play an increasingly significant role in the sector in the coming decade.
