Skillz Introduces First Esports Streaming Ticker

Forty-three million unique viewers were reached during the 2016 League of Legends World Championship. Thirty-one million watched game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals — arguably one of the greatest games in league history.

There’s no debate over the popularity of esports broadcasts. Just as networks like ESPN have made improvements to broadcasts, it’s important that gaming companies follow suit. With that in mind, Skillz, a leading mobile esports platform, is introducing the world’s first streaming eSports ticker.

On this 38th anniversary of @ESPN's first broadcast, we're excited to announce the world's first #eSports ticker!
