World Series of Poker har en Esports-scene i år

UMG Media Corp har annonceret at de bringer en eSports-scene til World Series of Poker - der begynder d. 29. maj. Det betyder, at spillere og seere kan dyste i spil som Fortnite, Hearthstone, FIFA og mere fra UMG Esports Stage.

"Last year we watched our initiative to grow esports in Las Vegas grow by leaps and bounds" fortæller Dave Antony, CEO hos UMG. "Bringing the UMG Esports Stage into the World Series of Poker events is an amazing next step in continuing this initiative into 2018 and beyond. UMG will utilize its ground breaking event management app to help organize the event and to constantly update participants of upcoming play and special events at the UMG stage."

En kort video er blevet udgivet der viser hvordan scenen vil fungere, hvornår den er åben og hvilke platforme der vil blive spillet på.
