“The announcement of Esports Arena Series E is the next step in providing opportunities for gamers to realize their potential and become a contracted professional within the Esports Arena ecosystem,” said Tyler Endres, CEO of Esports Arena. “Our national expansion provides accessibility to gamers throughout the United States who may otherwise not have competitive gaming opportunities.”
