ESL and Hulu recently announced a partnership to bring esports content to streaming devices everywhere. This will be the first time premium esports content will be brought to a streaming video on-demand service en masse.

The deal is much different than what’s already out there for esports fans. Hulu won’t just be streaming matches and general commentary. Instead, ESL is bringing four different original programs to the service. Player V. Player, Bootcamp, Defining Moments and ESL Replay may not have the catchiest of names, but they have some interesting premises.

Two of the planned shows really stand out as something new and different. Player V. Player will be a gamified debate show with big personalities from across the esports spectrum arguing and battling one another for points and bragging rights. Bootcamp is “a weekly docu-series following The Immortals, a top CS:GO team, as they rebuild their roster leading up to IEM Oakland.”

This kind of content helps bring a new sense of depth to esports. ESPN and other traditional sports networks have proven time and time again that people don’t just like to watch sports, they like to watch things about sports as well. ESPN’s 30 for 30 and HBO’s Hard Knocks are both critically acclaimed shows with massive audiences and they each follow sports stories, not the games themselves.

Shows like these prove that people love narrative weaved into their sports and that’s exactly what ESL is doing with their new lineup.

The shows also provide a chance for general esports fans to learn more about other games. For someone who isn’t a huge fan of CS:GO or who hasn’t followed it closely in years, Bootcamp might still sound appealing because of the underlying story. Meanwhile Player V. Player will likely cover a myriad of esports, which could help fans achieve a broader knowledge of the esports landscape.

All of this hinges on whether or not any of these shows are actually well made. ESL and Hulu could have the best ideas with the best of intentions, but if the shows are poor quality then no one is going to want to watch them. Either way, the fact that Hulu was willing to take a chance on something like this is further proof that esports is slowly but surely creeping its way into the mainstream.

You can find full descriptions of the new shows below.

–       Player V. Player. A gamified debate show with casters and esports influencers facing off over the hottest topics in esports. Panelists accrue points while debating both newsy and big picture topics for ultimate bragging rights, with a final challenge over a classic video game. The result is an urgent, passionate conversation amongst signature esports personalities, connecting communities while also pitting them against one another.

–       Bootcamp. A weekly docu-series following The Immortals, a top CS:GO team, as they rebuild their roster leading up to IEM Oakland, one of the premiere esports events in North America that takes place on November 18 – 19 at Oracle Arena. With the tournament just weeks away, and currently three players short of a full team, The Immortals must find new talent and quickly build a cohesive team. Bootcamp will follow The Immortals through the extensive process of player evaluation, testing, and trials until they finally find the perfect players and then race to get ready for IEM Oakland. The series will also give unprecedented access to the inner workings of a professional esports team, with scrimmages and practice sessions at the team house as they formulate a new strategy and build team chemistry.

–       Defining Moments. Dive deep into the most impactful moments in esports history with passionate casters and analysts explaining what made these moments so monumental. Defining Moments will cover many of the top games and fan the flames of ongoing debates about these plays. Each episode is centered on a specific theme for the week, whether trick-shots and insane reflex skills, controversial moves and their impact on gaming history, or long-lasting rivalries and how they came to be. The series will feature in-depth interviews with game designers, teammates, fans, rivals, even sports scientists assessing reaction speed – anyone who can add to the story of defining moments in esports.

–       ESL Replay. A fast-paced, condensed, documentary-style recap of the most memorable moments from four of the biggest multi-day esports tournaments in the world, including in-depth analyses and behind-the-scenes footage not part of the tournament live stream. A never-before-seen view of the tournament that will entertain those who watched the full tournament and those who missed the action and want to see what they missed. Each episode of Replay will be edited and aired within a week of the live event.
