Guild Esports launches "first component" of its academy system

Guild Esports has today pulled back the curtain on its highly-anticipated academy system by launching its "first component", an online training and tournament portal. Despite acting as a scouting ground for future UK talent, the portal will be open to everyone, regardless of their skill level.

The Guild Academy covers just Rocket League and Fortnite for now, but resources for FIFA and Valorant are not far behind, meaning all four of the esports Guild currently fields teams in will be involved.

The "holistic and comprehensive" approach to the Guild Academy sees dedicated curriculums and training programmes to master in-game mechanics and strategies across three skill levels. As well as in-game mentorship, which features video training, quizzes, and even VOD reviews, there are also resources covering psychology, nutrition, physical and social skills, and esports career advice, according to academy director Joe Sutton.
