运动比赛转播 students and members of 满帆大学’s collegiate esports organization, 全帆舰队, recently gained valuable industry experience working with Magic Gaming - the esports arm of Orlando’s professional NBA team, 奥兰多魔术队. Hosting the first-ever NBA 2 k League match held live in a team’s arena during an NBA game, Orlando’s Magic Gaming faced off against Miami’s Heat Check Gaming in the NBA 2 k League’s 3V3 Switch Open.

满帆 served as a production partner for the event, bringing the live stream to audiences online while students studying 运动比赛转播 served as hosts and commentators for the live stream. 学生 Max Gershen and Clayton Wollner commentated over gameplay while host and fellow 运动比赛转播 student William Syslo hosted the stream and interviewed coaches and special guests including NBA 2 k streamer Ciao Teixeira.

Streaming to the official Magic Gaming and NBA 2 k 联盟Twitch频道, students involved in the event gained a unique addition to their resumes, working an NBA-affiliated production from Orlando’s Kia Center.

“满帆 & Magic Gaming have collaborated on many projects during the past few years, so when we [knew] we were hosting an in-person 2K League event we knew we had to get 满帆 involved,Gabe Causse分享道, Manager of 业务 Operations with the NBA’s Orlando Magic. “Their staff brings a level of knowledge and professionalism that is unmatched in this industry, and it is always great being able to connect with students looking to get real-life experience.”

无敌舰队 students also gained experience during the esports-centric event. 学生 Jagger Fenwick and Najee Dyson did technical setup for the broadcast and also worked as stage managers, communicating between teams and producers as the best-of-five LAN event progressed.

贝内特·纽瑟姆, 满帆大学’s Director of 的电子竞技 Growth and Development, the energy of hosting an event in the KIA Center during an NBA match was a special thing to witness.

“The energy from the players and the thousands of fans pouring into the KIA Center is always contagious,他说. “So many fans stopped to watch and then had questions about how to learn more about NBA 2 k 联盟和电子竞技. 但对我来说, the highlight was watching our students put everything they had into the broadcast. Every time we're able to have students from the Dan Patrick School of 运动比赛转播 join us to show off their hosting and casting abilities, 我总是被震撼到.”
