Variance eSports, LLC has built a new approach to competitive gaming by grooming and preparing new eSports athletes on their roster for entering the world of competitive eSports. The ability to get into the professional gaming circuit is an extremely daunting task. Variance eSports’ approach is one that has opened the door for up and coming athletes.
James Bowling, Founder of Variance eSports, LLC says, “Variance Gaming has put in numerous hours to find the next up and coming athletes to fill our Call of Duty Infinite Warfare roster in time for the Call of Duty World League Dallas Open Tournament. Gaming is no longer something we, as parents, have to look at as a waste of time.”
