Philadelphia 76ers-Backed Team Dignitas Partners With Facebook For Live Streaming

Esports organization Team Dignitas announced Wednesday it would be expanding its live streaming on digital, partnering with Facebook to expand its global footprint online as it broadcasts players’ practice sessions and other esports events. The team will continue to live stream via traditional esports company Twitch, according to the announcement.

“Our goal here is to turn Team Dignitas into the most viewed, the most interacted with, the most followed and hopefully the most success brand in the entire industry,” Akshay Khanna, Vice President of Strategy for the Philadelphia 76ers said about the Facebook partnership at Wednesday’s Cynopsis World Esports Summit.
