JIKEI COM Group and T1 Esports Academy Sign Business Alliance
JIKEI COM Group operates 41 vocational schools throughout Japan where students can study various fields such as esports, games, IT, AI, and animation.
Esports is offered as a major at nine of those schools, where students can aim to become not only professional esports players, but also event producers or the play-by-play casters essential to tournaments.
JIKEI COM Group revealed that it signed a business alliance with T1 Esports Academy in April 2024.
T1 Esports Academy is an esports educational institution operated by T1, an esports organization based in South Korea that is active in League of Legends, VALORANT, and other titles.
