G3 Esports Partners with Mainline for Conference One’s Sophomore Season

Conference One announces the return of elite collegiate esports competition.

Atlantic City, N.J. (September 9, 2021) – The dawn of a new era has arrived, as G3 Esports (G3), Conference One, and Mainline have formed a strategic partnership to bring competitive collegiate esports to the mainstream. The second year of Conference One play is scheduled to commence on Monday, October 4^th, 2021.

This wide-ranging partnership will see Conference One utilizing Mainline’s groundbreaking platform technology, data capture and broadcast support to deliver a fast-paced, entertaining viewing experience.

“Mainline did such an outstanding job as our inaugural season partner that we chose them again for the upcoming season,” stated G3 CEO, Anthony Gaud. “As we expand our collegiate esports offerings, we need to ensure that Conference One has a reliable partner who can meet the high standards of support our expanded expectations and far-reaching plans require.”

Starting this Fall, Conference One’s sophomore campaign will feature extensive coverage on Sports Illustrated with each school having a dedicated team page complete with rosters, player profiles, articles, interviews, and stats.

The Sports Illustrated relationship is one of several initiatives introduced by acting commissioner Ric Serritella, who intends to bring collegiate esports competition to the mainstream and change the perception of how competitive videogaming is viewed.

“We are on the verge of igniting one of the most combustible industries seen in the modern-day media and entertainment era,” Serritella stated, “It is my belief that the audience for esports will soon rival the viewership of events such as the World Cup and Super Bowl. It is with great honor and pride to be at the forefront of this movement.”

Conference One’s weekly broadcasts and significantly increased media coverage will be distributed across numerous multi-media platforms readily available to consume by fans of all ages.

With an unprecedented alliance of traditional sports and esports industry experts and pioneers on staff, the goal is to establish Conference One as the mainstream media leader in collegiate esports. In turn, Conference One will help empower gamer participants to grow their skill-set and brand while allowing universities to expand and solidify their college esports initiatives.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with G3 Esports and build upon Conference One’s successful inaugural season. We take tremendous pride in delivering an elite esports broadcast experience,” said Mainline Director of Collegiate Esports, Billy Sprout “Mainline looks forward to working with Conference One’s team to continue to provide high quality collegiate competition and content.”
