The initiative will blend the pro athletes from a leading esports organization with celebrities from other professions in a bid to draw more attention to esports content and engage gaming fans. It brings together the buzz around gaming, esports, professional athletes, and celebrities. It could pay off in getting a lot more views for the content they stars are making, and that could generate more revenue.
