EU TAKING LEAD IN MAKING ESPORTS OFFICIAL

My Take: Yesterday I discussed the US government’s relatively lack of initiative in furthering eSports after receiving over 100,000 signatures. With perfect timing, the UK government announced yesterday the establishment of a national governing body, the British eSports Association.

Partnering with their Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the BEA will work with emerging and established eSports athletes and most importantly — focus on the infrastructure to drive the industry further.

The association will also be based at Pinewood Studios, which in another coincidental perfect twist for the audience is where a lot of the Bond movies have been filmed and most recently Star Wars.

In an interesting parallel, not only are EU Media and Sports Teams moving faster into eSports than the US, currently their legislation is also moving more quickly.
