Japanese publisher Konami has made its name with games like Metal Gear, but it is also embracing esports. The company has opened an esports school in Japan that would help gamers become esports pro.
Konami’s Esports School
According to Kotaku, students can go to the Konami school and learn how to play several video games. At the school, lecturers can teach them how to play games such as Pro Evo, eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball, DotA, and Fortnite. Of course, video game lectures wouldn’t be as useful without hands-on experience. The school also offers gamers hands-on training for these games.
