How to Get a Job in Esports - Esports Masterclass EP1
Everyone sees the pro players on the big stage, but they don't see the 50 people behind the scenes making it happen! If you want to work in the gaming industry but don't want to be a professional gamer, this video series is for you.
I’m Pete Thompson, and I’ve been running Endpoint Group in Sheffield for the last nine years. In this series, we're going to break down the business, operations, media, and marketing sides of the industry to help you find your niche. Plus, I'll explain why we should probably stop using the word "esports" altogether and reframe it as "competitive gaming."
