What goes into producing a successful eSports tournament? Join us for this informative webinar as we explore this topic from the perspectives of players and producers. You’ll hear from Fnatic CEO, Wouter Sleijffers, about how professional players prepare for a championship tournament with a global audience and what role interaction with fans, publishers and developers plays in the preparation. 

But attracting fans is only one piece of running a successful tournament. You also need to flawlessly bring the event to millions of fans around the globe simultaneously. It is essential that the infrastructure scale to meet performance and availability requirements.
