Cutler about the inaugural edition of the esports competition, is headed to Prime Video next month.<\/p>\n<p>The series, produced by Sony Pictures Television&#8217;s This Machine, goes behind the scenes of the inaugural Esports World Cup (EWC), which took place last year. Cutler directs, with John Dorsey serving as showrunner and Jane Cha Cutler, Trevor Smith, Elise Pearlstein and Mark Blatty executive producing. It premieres June 6.<\/p>\n<p>The series features footage from the event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The eight-week tournament was viewed by more than 500 million fans around the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What drew me to the Esports World Cup was the compelling human stories unfolding within this high-stakes arena,\u201d said Cutler. \u201c<em>Level Up<\/em> isn&#8217;t just about the incredible competition and prize money; it&#8217;s about the dedication, the passion, and the sheer will of these athletes and teams pushing the boundaries of what&#8217;s possible. Under high pressure, we discover the true character of the competitors who vie for $60 million, but who also expose their humanity in the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA win might make the headlines\u2014but the real story is the people behind it,\u201d said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation. \u201c<em>Level Up<\/em> dives into the human side of esports: the pressure, the ambition and the sacrifices. It\u2019s about what it really takes to compete at the highest level\u2014and why it matters. R.J. is the best at bringing those stories to life, and this one captures the heart of what we\u2019re building.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esports World Cup: Level Up, a new series from R.J.
