This weeks podcast guest is Kieran Holmes-Darby, Chief Gaming Officer and Co-Founder of Excel Esports. Excel is a leading UK-based gaming and esports entertainment brand, with a team that competes in the premier European esports competition, Riot Games’ League of Legends European Championship (LEC). Kieran gives us a fascinating overview of how Excel was born - from two brothers coming up with the idea to start a esports team in 2014, through to now competing in Europe’s biggest esports competition (with a £10m competition entry fee!). We also discuss the massive commercial opportunities in esports and how Excel have established their HQ at Twickenham Stadium and brought onboard BT as main sponsor.
