eFuse aiming to scout talent through TeeP Trials
eFuse is set to be the event organizer and broadcast platform for the event, and CEO Matthew Benson is more than excited to promote this event to fans across North America. “Discovery in North American esports is thoroughly broken, especially for communities of color and females.”
Benson continued on to discuss the ultimate goal eFuse hopes to accomplish in 2021 and onward: “At eFuse, we’re investing big on events like ‘TeeP Trials’ to spotlight rising talent and pairing them with the real world scouts looking to recruit, develop talent and ultimately hire pro gamers. There’s some real talent out there and we’re going to give them a shot.”
eFuse are committing a significant part of the $6m they’ve raised, in order to bring in top talent to their platform, with a goal of solving the talent discovery problem in North America. TeeP’s will do exactly that, with such a large audience coming from TeePee himself, as well as the other talent competing in the tournament.
From this, eFuse partners can actively search for talent, while potential candidates can apply for jobs, internships and spots in eFuse’s many combines. These prospects will have an opportunity to showcase their talents, with a chance to break through and make it big.
