VR esports is a world that exists on the frontier of technology and entertainment. Although it's been around since 2017, the scene has only become a viable niche for businesses and consumers in the last few years.
Since it's new territory for many people, Theta has put together a guide to get you up to speed on the hardware, games and leagues involved in the scene.
The work Theta does is at the intersection of three different domains:
Immersive technology is the future, for both gamers and businesses. Capturing value now, as the titans of technology start to gain interest in the "metaverse" and all the technologies it will built from, is of the utmost importance.
Games are now a cultural force, and new frontiers are emerging all the time - particularly in competitive gaming/esports. Knowing how to navigate these spaces is now of vital importance to anyone who wants a piece of the future.
With new technologies and new ways of playing games together, understanding communities built within platforms like Discord becomes a key skill for anyone who wants to be part of the next wave.
Take a look at the catalog of projects Theta has been involved with in the VR, esports and gaming worlds.

Theta is an author who formerly competed in Onward (a VR esport) as a player, reaching #1 worldwide as a member of Mayhem. After retiring, he coached his own team, Tempo, to #8 in the world. Tempo was the first Onward team to ever go beyond the wildcard stage of the postseason in their first full season.
During his time as a competitor, he started ThetaVR, the most trusted channel in the Onward community. His book, Edge: The Art of Ruthless Competition is a comprehensive guide for competitors based on his extensive experience in competitive fields.
