SXSW 2025

Building Esports Teams Through Player Development

Description:

Esports is a rapidly growing industry and player development is often seen through traditional lenses: training regimens, strategic coaching, and skill enhancement. However, there’s an unconventional yet compelling angle to consider: the role of brand and team-building standards in fostering player growth. This session will dive into how the United States Esports Federation (USEF.GG) is pioneering a new method of player development by embedding standards into the very fabric of esports branding and team management.
