Just like sports have professional teams, Esports also have their own professional organizations. The goal of these organizations is to become a successful business that not only tries to win, but takes care of its professional players while at the same time trying to create a brand identity that the audience can relate to. We'll be covering what goes into making an Esports organization successful, which includes branding, structuring the organization, funding sources, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.
