live streams<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe final five will then face off against Oceania\u2019s top gaming teams to build skills before the live finale.<\/p>\n
The entire process will be streamed on YouTube so budding gamers can watch the episodes as many times as they want.<\/p>\n
The finale will be live streamed and one gamer will walk away with a new team and $10,000 richer.<\/p>\n
Australian gamers have been asked to apply for the competition online. While the details were available on the site on Monday, as of Tuesday, they have been taken down. This could be due to the fact they have exceeded the number of applications required.<\/p>\n
Applicants have been asked to link social media accounts, detail their preferred role, their current League of Legends rank and any previous competitive experience, as well as submit a video application.<\/p>\n
The new reality series will hopefully bring an added boost to the young esports scene Down Under.<\/p>\n
Southeast Asian esports show<\/h3>\n
If you are looking for another show to binge watch after The Next Gamer finishes, you\u2019re in luck. Spout Entertainment has teamed up with Aurora for a 32-episode television series based on the Southeast Asian professional video gaming scene. A feature-length film is reportedly in the works too.<\/p>\n
The Southeast Asian esports industry is a lot bigger than Australia’s and the first entry of the show will feature a four-part mini series where players compete for professional contracts in FIFA Online.<\/p>\n
Known as Game To Fame: Road To World Cup, the series will also include other popular esports games like DOTA 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.<\/p>\n
BBC broadcasts esports coverage<\/h3>\n
Meanwhile, the BBC (UK\u2019s national broadcaster) is getting in on the action, offering live esport coverage on its digital-only channel BBC3.<\/p>\n
The channel, which is no longer considered a regular TV channel as users can only watch content online and via apps, began broadcasting the Gfinity Elite League last Friday. The competition is taking place in London with a total prize pool of \u00a3225,000.<\/p>\n
The program will run for six weeks, with Street Fighter V, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Rocket League each getting an entire day of coverage.<\/p>\n
BBC3 isn’t new to esports, with the channel covering the League of Legends World Championship in 2015. The event attracted over 137,000 unique viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
