Last month, Yahoo launched a new eSports channel, which covers tournaments and events in great depth with reports, blogs, video commentary and more. Now, it’s taking that coverage to the next level with a new mobile app that will enable fans to watch the action on the go.
The company announced the introduction of the Android app on its blog page, explaining how it will let fans to “use the schedule to find upcoming matches and set reminders, easily see live stats on our match pages, watch live or past games, and much more.”
In addition, the app will feature content from personalities such as Andrea Rene, Travis Gafford and Dylan Walker, who will discuss upcoming eSports events and results. All of it is accessible through an easy-to-use menu system so that fans can get quickly to the tournament coverage they want.
iOS owners won’t be left out in the cold, as Yahoo confirmed that the eSports app will be available for that platform at a later time.
This is a strong move for Yahoo’s eSports initiative, and it helps the company bolster a larger audience through mobile devices.
