The High School Esports League (HSEL) has launched Generation Esports, an organisation and competitive platform that will expand to serve communities of all ages.
Generation Esports’ first event is the Social Distancing Cup, an online charity tournament held in partnership with the Varsity Esports Foundation (VEF), that will feature $30,000 (£24,393) in prizes.
The company’s expanded offering will also include leagues and competitions targeted towards middle school and college students, active-duty military members and marines, corporations, and organisations for both kids and adults. A Middle School Esports League (MSEL) will launch this autumn alongside the returning HSEL for North American students, although a release suggests a growing global focus for the organisation.
