Swisscom Hero League now has two new games

After the start of the “Swisscom Hero League” in November, over 2,600 gamers in eight qualification rounds competed through the end of 2018 in the games “League of Legends”, “Hearthstone” and “Clash Royale”. Over 20,000 spectators have viewed the world of gaming on Swisscom TV since the launch. “We are very pleased with the start, even if there is still potential for improvement”, says Nadine Jaberg, Marketing Manager for eSports at Swisscom. Based on the feedback from the players, Swisscom is continuously reviewing the possibility of integrating further games and game genres together with its partner ESL. “Our goal is to support both professional eSports in Switzerland and fun for the general public, but also to offer the possibility of turning a hobby into a profession.” A popular sports game in the form of “Fifa19” is now being added, and the first team shooter in the form of “Overwatch by Blizzard Entertainment” is joining the Swisscom Hero League. Both games will first be included in Go4Cups for casual gamers. “We want to check how they go over with the community and whether integration into the professional league would make sense or even be possible.”
