As we know, TF1 is increasingly looking towards eSports. In addition to organizing Hearthstone tournaments, the first channel has been hinting in recent months that it was preparing a major event dedicated to eSports. And I might as well tell you right away, you're going to be... surprised (or even shocked, depending on your point of view).

À Through TF1 Publicité, its advertising agency, the “front page” unveiled Gaming Inside Experience, a reality TV show featuring 10 “pro-gamers” in a 300 m² “Gaming house”. Filmed 24/7 for two months, the two teams, five women and five men, will have to train in order to qualify for the League of Legends Challenger Series.
But the candidates, "selected for their eSports ability but also for their personality and their media potential (sic)", will not be alone in this adventure. The players will be supervised by 10 coaches coming straight from the eSports scene and YouTube. Yes, yes, YouTube. Participants will be advised on their diet and social networks by two "YouTube personalities". Their professional career management will be supervised by a "major YouTuber". Are we in for #TeamSqueezie Vs. #TeamDavidLafarge?
On the broadcast side, the Gaming Inside Experience will be broadcast on Twitch and MyTF1. In partnership with the channel, the MinuteBuzz and Eclypsia sites will also be involved. The first will broadcast a series of tutorials to raise awareness among its community, while the second will post daily videos of the show to "viralize the Gaming Inside Experience". We can't wait...
