Big-show storytelling from one focused system.

For the inaugural StarCraft II festival, Maelstrom provided full tournament operations, agency, broadcast and production services from the online qualifier through the live event.

Maelstrom works with Gaming Generations and The Pokemon Company International to support large-scale competitive events across North America.
