Worthy conclusion to an extraordinary season

22 professional players put up a thrilling fight at the Grand Final of the Swisscom Hero League at HeroFest at the Bernexpo centre. Although only around 100 people were admitted on site each day due to the current restrictions, the mood remained buoyant. The event turned into an online spectacle that was watched by 285'000 E-sport enthusiasts. Nadine Jaberg, E-sport manager at Swisscom, is pleased with the end result, despite the current restrictions. “We had of course hoped that the Grand Final could have taken place on a larger scale. Nevertheless, the fourth season has still been great success thanks to the many online viewers. Especially given the current situation, it has shown how closely the gaming community sticks together and the potential of this sport.”

Swisscom was quick to embrace this trend within the gaming and E-sport sector, and is bringing new impetus with Swisscom blue TV: customers can easily find a wide variety of gaming content from TV channels, streaming platforms such as Twitch or from the net in the Gaming folder and watch it on TV. It also plans to gradually expand the cloud gaming offers on Swisscom blue TV.
