The Missouri Valley Football Conference will see more than 50 events run on ESPN’s networks during the 2018 season, producing eight league games as part of its 2018 Game of the Week package, with each streaming live on “Valley Football on ESPN” -- the league's co-branded digital network. Of the league's 56 regular-season home contests, 13 will air on ESPN3, and the remaining 43 will appear on ESPN+. PBR released a new documentary, titled Belles of the Bull, on Facebook Watch. The five-episode streaming series, an IMG Original Content production, follows four PBR couples – Kaitlyn and Cooper Davis, Peyton Martin and Gage Gay, Jilian and Fabiano Vieira, and Brittany Paige with Stormy Wing – during the five days of PBR World Finals last November in Las Vegas. ESPORTS
Supercell’s Clash Royale League announced plans to launch its Fall season in North America on August 20 with fans able to watch the action on the new Esports Royale YouTube Channel. This year saw Supercell offer players around the globe a Path to Pro: the chance to be signed by an elite pro team starting with an in-game event called the Clash Royale League Challenge. Twenty five million players competed to qualify for the CRL in 2018, and just under 7,000 players from 113 different countries made it to the next round. With rosters now finalized, competition will begin for the eight teams representing North America in the CRL, which are Cloud9, Team SoloMid, Tribe Gaming, Immortals, NRG, Complexity, 100 Thieves and Counter Logic Gaming. PUBG Global Invitational 2018 wrapped up on July 29 after offering a $2 million total prize purse. The event, according to PUBG Corp, peaked at over 100 million concurrent viewers from around the world via Twitch, YouTube, and more. “We are humbled by the enthusiasm from fans around the world to experience the pinnacle of PUBG competition at PGI 2018.” said Changhan Kim, CEO, PUBG Corp. “With the foundation laid at this year’s world championship event in Berlin, we made major strides in proving the potential of PUBG esports on a global scale and aim to present an even more robust esports offering in 2019 as we roll out our continued vision.” Aug. 25 will see Overwatch League’s Atlantic and Pacific Division All-Stars square off in a series of custom skill-based games. The 18 players on each roster will compete in at least one game mode, and there will be no substitutions within each game, according to Blizzard, clashing in Lucioball Showdown, Mystery Heroes, Widowmaker 1v1, Talent Takedown, Presented by T-Mobile and Lockout Elimination. The All-Star game itself then takes place on Aug. 26 over a total of five maps. The Golden State Warriors NBA 2K League team, Warriors Gaming Squad, locked in its first sponsor courtesy of a deal with NETGEAR’s Nighthawk Pro Gaming brand. The agreement will now see Nighthawk Pro Gaming’s branding shown on the team’s in-game home court, as well as part of the team’s digital content. THE MAIN EVENT
