The national sanctioning organization for esports is revealing its
development plans for a first-of-its-kind national championship
series at an upcoming esports industry conference where
municipalities and their venue assets will have access to a
multi-year national framework benefiting host cities by attracting
hundreds of esports athletes and thousands of fans from across the
nation.
United
States Esports Federation [USEF] is the National Governing Body [NGB]
charged with fosteringcompetitive gamers who identify as digital
athletes. Part of the organization’s role is to sanction
tournaments to ensure international competition standards at met. The
formalization of a U.S. National Esports Team [USNEST] now requires a
nationwide qualifying process.
To
accomplish a fair and standardized qualification process for national
team selection, a championship series of events will be held to
discover the best of the country’s digital culture. Future gold
medals and celebrity- style endorsement deals are expected.
USEFs
recently elected President, David Geddes, will present the series
framework at the Esports Travel Summit to explain the process and
also convene a special meeting for interested host destinations,
their venues, and media. Register here for the June 21-23 event at
Daytona Beach, Florida.
“The
Esports Travel Summit was designed to bring together stakeholders in
the esports industry to help support the growth of in-person esports
events,” said Jason Gewirtz, Vice President of the Sports Division
for the Northstar Meetings Group, organizers of the Esports Travel
Summit. Mr. Gewirtz describes their partnership with USEF as “the
perfect example of the kinds of connections we are looking to foster
with our event, since their approach to uniting stakeholders and
growing a national team is the best of what we see in the future of
esports events. We’re excited to offer attendees in Daytona the
chance to meet them and hear more about their vision for the future.”
Mr.
Geddes is optimistic about their new strategy saying, “We are very
excited by the post-covid wave of interest
to host in-person competitions, the esports industry is unifying just
like other NGBs, such as USA Soccer or USA Climbing.” He went on to
add, “I am so delighted when I think about how our nation’s esports
competitors will face off to qualify for the national team –
celebrity esports athletes will be made during our championship
series of events.”
USNEST
is already planning to send an elite team to qualify at the IESF
Panam Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina and then on to the IESF World
Championships in Bali, Indonesia 2022. Lance Mudd, who oversees the
team’s development exclaimed, “I have never been more excited to
head to the IESF World Championships with our team, but before that,
we’re stopping off in beautiful, Buenos Aires!”
