killamch89 Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM As esports professionalizes, formal credentials emerge like coaching certificates, shoutcasting diplomas, event management badges. Which certifications carry weight with teams, tournament organizers, or sponsors? Are Riot’s official coach programs, ESL shoutcasting courses, or Production+ streaming certificates worth the time and cost? Do HR departments and agencies recognize them, or is hands-on experience still king? For aspiring analysts, are data-science or statistics courses relevant? And what soft-skill workshops like leadership, communication have you found most impactful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM From my experience in the industry, hands-on experience still trumps certifications, but combining both creates the strongest profile. Riot's coaching certification paired with actual team coaching experience has opened doors for several people I know personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
