And so we thought, why don\u2019t we change that? Why don\u2019t we make it easier for everyone who\u2019s interested in the industry, to have a starting point where they can learn directly from industry professionals on how they got involved in esports and what other opportunities there are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, TSMU will host a variety of events such as career panels and Q&As with industry professionals, as well as casual tournaments and tournament watch parties.\u00a0<\/span>TSMU\u2019s Discord server will serve as the main hub of the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n RELATED: Events DC and Game Gym launch Collegiate Esports Conference<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIn this industry, there has historically been a lack of a clear path on how to get involved, so it can be challenging for those who are interested in this business to even get started. This is why we created TSMU. We want to lead the way in creating new opportunities in the space, as well as providing education and insight for those looking to learn how they can work in the space,\u201d added Hahe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Esports Insider says: It\u2019s true that esports needs more entry points for those who are interested in a career path within this industry, that\u2019s why it\u2019s good to see big organisations such as TSM taking initiative into their hands and creating such spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up to our ESI Dispatch Newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/oddslifenetstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/esportsinsider\/2021\/04\/maxresdefault-1024x576.jpg\")
