Who We Are
The OP Esports Network is an independent esports news and analysis program dedicated to one mission, covering competitive gaming with the same legitimacy, depth, and respect that traditional sports have always commanded.
Every Friday we deliver a full episode breaking down the biggest stories in esports, analyzing tournaments, profiling the athletes who compete in them, and offering the kind of sharp editorial perspective the industry has always deserved but rarely received.
Full episodes stream at OPETV.com with daily content across all platforms @OPEsportsTV.
We are not a highlights channel. We are not a streaming reaction page. We are a network built from the ground up to be the home of serious esports coverage.
The Mission
Esports is a billion dollar global industry. Its athletes train ten to sixteen hours a day. Its tournaments fill arenas and draw hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide. For too long nobody in this country has stood up and treated it like what it actually is, a professional sport.
That changes here & now.
The OP Esports Network exists to change the perception of competitive gaming in America. We aim to move the conversation from "is this a real sport?" to "This is what is happening in the sport and here is why it matters." These athletes deserve recognition, endorsements, and respect equal to any professional in any sport. We are here to make that case every single week.
Take a moment and recall when football players stopped showing up to interviews in gym clothes and started wearing suits. The sport didn't change, the perception of it did. That is exactly what we will do for esports.
Where to Watch

Meet Your Host: Eric Brazeal
Eric Brazeal is not a gamer who decided to start a YouTube channel. He is a broadcasting professional with over a decade of experience as a reporter, anchor, and host in top ten television markets across the country. His production background spans commercial work for brands including Nike, Callaway Golf, and Bass Pro Shops. Creating ad spots, branded content, and corporate media at the highest professional level.
He brings all of this to the desk of the OP Esports Network.
Eric has been a gamer for over two decades and for most of that time he watched and waited. He focused on his career and fully expected someone with the platform and the production expertise to step up and build the esports network this industry deserved. Someone who could command respect. Someone who could change the face of the conversation.
Nobody did it.
A decade passed. The leagues grew. The prize pools exploded. The athletes got better, trained harder, and competed on stages that rivaled anything in traditional sports.
But still no one built the network they deserved. So Eric built it himself.
The OP Esports Network is the result of that decision. It is backed by real broadcast experience, real production expertise, and a genuine belief that the esports community, the athletes, the leagues, and the fans, deserve a seat at the table.
Follow along, because we are just getting started.
