Converting a National Esports Tournament to Fully Remote in 72 Hours

Zero downtime, retained multi-year contract, 40% cost savings

Overview

A major competitive gaming league had a flagship tournament scheduled as an in-person event when pandemic restrictions halted all travel.

Result

The crisis became a signature operational win. The remote system became a model for competitive broadcasts during the pandemic.
