WVU: Big 12 Conference, Learfield IMG College Unveil First-Ever Madden NFL 20 Esports Competition for 10 Member Schools
West Virginia University
We've remained steadfast in our commitment to deliver for our partners, even in a changed environment of social distancing and college sports on pause. Esports represents a huge opportunity to extend our traditional sports marketing offerings to brand partners, both now and when sports resume, and we're proud to lean in with the Big 12 to create a unique offering for its member schools, students and fans. Working with an established esports technology leader like Mainline affords both the schools and brands another powerful way to connect with students who love to game and compete.
Learfield IMG College Chief Content, Development, and Strategy Officer Rob Schneider
Madden Summer Challenge: An Esports First for the Big 12 Conference and its Members
Learfield IMG
The Big 12 had brought up the idea of trying to figure out something to do in the midst of this unprecedented student downtime and they came to us. We already had established a relationship with Mainline and its CEO Chris Buckner and it made a lot of sense to try and put something together with the Big 12. That was the catalyst for the Madden Summer Challenge. And here we are.
Nick Garner, VP of Strategic Solutions and Partnerships for Learfield IMG College
Clutch Gaming Academy Weekly Games
Riot Games allowed their League of Legends Academy teams to run their own streams. In turn, Mainline worked with Clutch Gaming’s Academy team to product high-quality weekly streams for their matches. Classed by Riot as an “A-tier” stream.
Mainline is the premier esports event group in the Houston area. In a sea of bad actors popping up, Mainline maintains the combination of pure passion for esports and high-level professionalism you would want to succeed in our space.
