The line between esports and other competitions continues to blur, and the latest sign is a new show from ESPN that’s about to air. College Esports Championship: Countdown will run every week, starting tonight at 9 PM ET. It’s all leading up to the very first ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship (CEC) in May, as various schools compete in Overwatch, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Hearthstone, StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm. Viewers can watch on ESPN3, as well as Twitch, YouTube and Twitter.
The show will be hosted by Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez and LeTigress, as they cover the week’s collegiate esports action and its growing presence on campuses. It’s not quite the March Madness you’re used to, but who knows, maybe one day students will be standing behind esports commentators holding weird signs supporting their university. A YouTube stream for the show is embedded below.
