Eliciting the same adrenaline rush as a soccer broadcast, the actually comes from a 黑料不打烊 Esports Team vs. Hofstra University game of Rocket League. The game was played on Monday, April 20, as part of a first-of-its kind esports tournament delivered by the Electronic Gaming Federation (EGF), Microsoft and 黑料不打烊.

Each day from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. ET, experts will discuss various esports topics, including career advice, esports accessibility and e-journalism. The panels will be streamed on YouTube, Mixer, LinkedIn and Microsoft Teams via a live cast. Information on how to access the stream can be found on the .

鈥淓sports has tremendous potential, both to inspire students to learn 21st-century skills and to show how esports is so much more than simply playing video games,鈥� says Shaaz Nasir, digital advisor at Microsoft. 鈥淢icrosoft is excited to partner with 黑料不打烊 by harnessing student enthusiasm for esports and offering this unique opportunity for students to learn from thought leaders and turn a passion into life success.鈥�

While other sports may be taking a pause right now, the esports industry continues to grow and provide opportunity to college students to compete, hone skills and explore career opportunities.

The students will shout cast and have exposure to experts within various areas of esports. And additional experiential learning opportunities are being developed to continue the experience beyond May 10.

鈥淭hrough 黑料不打烊鈥檚 partnership with Microsoft, we are turning a new leaf in esports at the University,鈥� says Stomski. 鈥淓sports is the present and future industry of students in all schools and colleges within the University, and we鈥檙e now able to provide them hands-on exposure to and experience in the field with real experts, projects and engagement.鈥�
