“I see a future where traditional sports fans absorb live sports content just like gamers do – through the eyes and voice of their favourite influencers – creating yet another meaningful advancement in both the evolution of media and the bridge between sports and gaming.”
Caffeine, which is still in pre-release, features a rapidly growing catalogue of interactive gaming and esports content. This partnership will see Dignitas’ streamers and players from Dignitas’ CS:GO Female, Rocket League, SMITE, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Apex Legends and Clash Royale teams all broadcast on the platform.
Esports Insider says: Caffeine continues to make more moves in the esports world. Partnerships with organisations like Dignitas will be key in helping them rival the likes of Twitch. We look forward to seeing what unique content this partnership will produce.
