From the article posted today;

"On content: We are developing a network-quality show with a comedic approach that will be a mix of The Today Show with ESPN. We’ve identified a need for comedy in this space, not only to tell the story about esports, but also to bring in the people who don’t get “it,” and why we are so obsessed with this industry. We recognize comedy to bridge that gap, like it has done for pop culture whether it is for politics, race, etc. It is clear that comedy plays a huge role and we see that having the same effect in the gaming space. We’ll be sending crews to cover different events, and we’ve auditioned a couple hundred people for our talent roles before finding six, two hosts and four correspondents.

On the road ahead: We are looking to build up a full esports news organization that’s built around comedy. You will see our company maintaining a presence at every major event and we will continue to support the initiatives around digital content with compelling stories. We are already in talks to provide segments with various platforms such as Snapchat, in addition to our main show. We also see the huge opportunity to support the people who are in that middle ground, who aren’t at the pro level, and we are interested in representing people in that space, giving them support and infrastructure and support to be successful in addition to working with companies like Esports Arena to build some grassroots tournaments."
