London-based esports organization Guild Esports has partnered with Swedish education tech company Learn2Esport to launch the Guild Academy, an esports player development program that hopes to create a “talent pipeline for esports athletes.”
Learn2Esport’s Gameplan platform will be used to run the online portion of Guild Academy, while the physical part of the program will be modeled after what Guild calls in a release “a physical athlete-development structure modeled after the Premier League and inspired by David Beckham’s experiences with the Manchester United Academy, and what has been built at Inter Miami CF.” It is unclear from Guild’s announcement if the former Manchester United star player has had any input on the program personally.
Learn2Esport partnered with Twitch at the end of 2020 to create a curriculum that focuses on the business of content creation.
