Live esports events and livestream production with venue and broadcast infrastructure
Skillshot Media operates a full-stack esports events business—combining physical venue, production crews, and livestream infrastructure. The tech stack is production-heavy (Avid, Final Cut Pro, Blackmagic ATEM, NDI) with operations tooling (Asana, Jira, monday.com) but minimal custom engineering; the hiring mix reflects this, with ops roles outnumbering engineering 2:1. Current projects (esports summits, creator mixers, game publisher finals) and stated pain points (asset management, communication delays, tournament integrity) suggest the scaling bottleneck is operational coordination, not technology.

Skillshot Media, part of the Resurgens Gaming ecosystem, produces live esports events and broadcasts for publisher partnerships and esports communities. The business model is experiential: they own or operate venues, manage event production end-to-end (stage design, broadcast capture, livestream delivery), and handle sponsor integration and analytics. The company works with game publishers on competitive events (recent projects include Marvel Rivals tournaments and esports summits), and operates creator-focused gatherings. Operations and production teams dominate headcount relative to engineering, reflecting a labor-intensive, project-based service delivery model rather than a software-first approach.
