Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports, spoke on the announcement in a release: “After years of parachuting into people’s lives through esports, we are in a prime position to serve our wide-ranging list of clients with creative solutions that tell an engaging narrative outside of pure gaming competition, with professional, experienced, digital-first production.
“As the world continues to use content to reach ever-growing audiences, AE Studios has the potential, with its unique foundation, to be a leader in entertainment production for years to come.”
The AE Studios’s first official project is the live production of interactive content series CelebriTee Showdown on the Twitch Sports channel. The series will feature well-known personalities competing in virtual golf courses, with streamers also participating from home on desktop or mobile versions of the game.
The show is produced by Entertainment Executive Producer Damon Harman and hosted by Noor Jehangir, the host of Allied Esports’s weekly Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament, as well as Saturday Night Speedway at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas.
The first season of CelebriTee Showdown will be broadcasted live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5pm PDT through July 2021 exclusively on Twitch.
