Guild Esports, the organisation backed by footballing icon David Beckham, has finally revealed details on its promised academy system. Guild says the academy will "set the gold standard in the esports industry" and will launch in the second quarter of 2021.
In an investor Q&A document, spotted by Dexerto, Guild says that its academy system will consist of "an online portal" and a "physical athlete-development system that has been closely modelled on the success of the Premier League and inspired by David Beckham." The former England international has also been "actively involved" in creating the academy system, according to Guild.
The online portal will provide gamers with resources to help their development. This will include gameplay coaching as well as guidance and training on aspects such as nutrition and psychological support. Guild's headquarters will also be home to on-site facilities for "top academy players" to use.
