Swift, the parent company of TSM, acquired Blitz in November 2018 and was a “multi-million” deal, though a specific figure wasn’t disclosed. Blitz is an online coaching platform that enables its users to learn champions from League of Legends, offering personalised statistics and automated coaching.
Jacobs spoke on his new venture: “I am so excited to join TSM and to be focusing on such an innovative product offering like Blitz. I am looking forward to using my background and network to make an immediate impact and building what I know will be a wildly successful business.”
Esports Insider says: With his experience, Jacobs looks to be a good candidate for the role – learning esports is a must, though, and that’s not easy for everybody.
