Interested in how eSports teams (and the managers who keep them running) work? We’re checking in with Red Bull’s This is eSports series, which has two new episodes. 

Episode 10 takes us to the Starcraft II World Championship Series. There, Dave “Walshy” Walsh interviews members of Evil Geniuses and Invictus about the role teams and managers play in keeping competitors focused.

Teams provide housing, food, technology, travel, and of course, finances. All of these allow players to focus on improving their play.

Our Take
I’ve always wondered what function teams served in the eSports scene. This episode of Red Bull’s series does a great job of explaining things.
