ESL, Intel and the National Student Esports (aka NSE) have launched a new program intended to help seek out epsorts talent at universities throughout the United Kingdom.
The FutureGen will give fans an opportunity to fill out an application, along with a short video, to a panel of industry experts who will then compose a list of 10 candidates.
“There is an incredible breadth of talent on campuses up and down the country, and we are particularly excited to work on the next FutureGen programme with Intel and NSE to harness and develop these skills” Heather Dower, Marketing and Communications Manager at ESL said, via a press release.
“This year we will be opening up this process to as many students as possible in order to celebrate their successes.”
“Here at Intel we have always been committed to the future of esports and that means supporting the industry from the ground up, engaging with grass roots leagues and nurturing new talent.
“Esports talent isn’t just limited to players which is why, following a successful program in 2018, Intel is proud to launch Intel FutureGen for 2019 with NSE and ESL” Scott Gillingham, UK Gaming and Esports Lead at Intel UK said. “We wanted to go bigger and better this year so that we can continue to support talent at a university level and provide opportunities for young people with aspirations in esports.”
