ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship

ESPN's Collegiate Esports Championship
  • May 10-12, 2019
  • Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, StarCraft II, Street Fighter 5
  • 22 national universities
  • Over 50,000 attendees at Comicpalooza; 1.1 million Twitch viewers

In collaboration with ESPN, Mainline hosted the inaugural ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship running matches across multiple game titles. Over five months, more than 800 teams from hundreds of schools competed to qualify for the LAN event at Comicpalooza.

In the end, the weekend appears to have been a success for both collegiate esports and ESPN. With an extremely successful first broadcast, the company staked its unquestioned leadership in a promising industry still in its infancy.

  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
  • 62,000 registered players; 12,000 registered teams
  • Over 3 million views on Twitch; 74,000 Discord Members

Throughout its existence, PUBGOnline was the first and largest competitive pro league for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). It featured a multi-tiered competitive landscape allowing beginners, amateurs, and professionals to participate in weekly matches across multiple regions, embracing a path-to-pro ethos.

As a tournament organizer and broadcast partner, Mainline has exampled punctuality, integrity, and fairness throughout each of their hosted events and communities. I’ve also been impressed by their ability to adapt and succeed while the esports space has changed aggressively in the past two years.
