DreamHack Sports Games has teamed up with eManager to launch a FIFA esports fantasy game for eSuperliga. 

The sports simulation division of MTG says the new game, which will be accessible via eManager’s platform, will allow fans to create a dream team from eSuperliga players in order to compete for ‘sponsor prizes’ during the upcoming FIFA competition, which kicks off on 3 November. 

eSuperliga was created in the autumn of 2018 through a partnership between DreamHack and the Super League Divisional Association, with the first final held at the Forum Arena in Copenhagen in front of 1,300 fans. 

About to enter its 5th season, the eSuperLiga features 15 teams from 15 major Danish football clubs, offers a $50K USD prize pool, and will be broadcast on TV3 Max in Denmark, and streamed on Viaplay.

Discussing the new game COO of DreamHack Sports Games, Mark Bjørk, said:

“Our vision is to transform traditional sports IP into esports, and through this collaboration with eManager, we once again prove that the elements that surround traditional football also work with their esports counterpart, eFootball.

“With limited opportunities to bring spectators as a result of the coronavirus, we have to find new ways for the fans to engage with the eSuperliga. Collaborations like this with eManager are a great example of how we can facilitate this, while simultaneously providing our partners with additional digital activation opportunities to interact with the fans in a meaningful way.”

Staying with DreamHack Sports Games, earlier this month former DreamHack Co-CEO Roger Lodewick was appointed new CEO of the division, taking over from Peter Nørrelund.

AYO.NEWS says:

Though fantasy games are already very popular in real-world sports, especially football, they haven’t yet found popularity in esports, so will this be the breakthrough that changes that? With the COVID-19 crisis shaking things up and pushing new fans to the virtual world, it’s certainly possible.
