Super League Gaming to Produce 3rd Annual Tempest Awards, October 28th, 2020
Super League Gaming Named Broadcast Production Partner for
2020 Tempest Awards
North America’s top gaming esports industry honors has selected Super League Gaming to produce signature awards show utilizing the company’s advanced, fully-remote production system
LOS ANGELES – October 1, 2020 – Super League Gaming, (Nasdaq: SLGG), a global leader in competitive video gaming and esports entertainment for everyday players around the world, and Access Intelligence, the parent company behind the Esports Business Summit, announced today Super League’s selection as the production partner to broadcast this year’s all virtual Tempest Awards gala on October 28th.
The awards ceremony, which caps off the annual Esports Business Summit (EBS), will be produced on a fully remote basis by Super League, with all award nominees, luminaries, and hosts, and every member of the broadcast production crew participating comfortably and safely from their homes. Super League was selected by EBS for several reasons, including the ease with which the company’s veteran team and versatile system can accommodate any combination of pre-recorded, live-to-tape, and live broadcast content within a seamless entertainment experience, even while adjusting for COVID-related production requirements. As a result, the show will feature exciting elements audiences have come to expect in a first-class awards broadcast – namely live, emotional reactions of nominees and winners, engaging real-time interactions between hosts and talent, use of pre-recorded segments, roll-in graphics, and more.
“We are excited to be deploying our proprietary, state-of-art virtual broadcast production technology
and remote production expertise to deliver a first-class Tempest Awards show,” says Matt Edelman, Chief Commercial Officer at Super League Gaming. “As Super League has been expanding our production activities outside of competitive gameplay broadcasts, it was a natural fit to partner with the Esports Business Summit to help further entrench the Tempest Awards as the premier esports awards platform in the industry.”
“As the primary esports business awards show, it was important for us to know that we could count on a company that would not only help us deliver the best show possible, but also help us build as we transition to a virtual event this year,” said Chris Pursell, Chairman of Esports Business Summit. “We were thrilled to see what Super League Gaming has in store and I can’t wait for our audience to celebrate with us.”
