N3rd Street Gamers, a development-minded esports network, is launching a National Championship Series in 2019. The NCS will consist of more than 10 live competitions across the country, culminating in Grand Finals played at Denver’s Localhost Arena in Dec. 2019 with prizes of $50,000 per video game.
Comcast Spectacor and SeventySix Capital have invested in N3rd Street Gamers as the company seeks to fill a void for sub-elite esports competition. N3rd Street caters to amateur and semipro gamers with four tiers of NCS skill levels: Academy, Minor, Major, and the Grand Finals.
