NFL 16: Interview with Madden's Matt Marcou

[maddencoins]

EA Sports announced the Madden 16 Coins Live Challenge which will be held within Draft Champions Ranked Mode from this month through the NFL Regular Season -- the very best players will meet at the Super Bowl for some big prizes.

To get more info, and to get the Cheap MUT 16 Coins lowdown on what the tournament is and what EA is planning, we got a chance to send some questions in to Madden NFL 16 eSports producer, Matt Marcou. Operation Sports: First off, tell us all who you are and what you are doing for EA Sports and Madden?

Matt Marcou: My name is Matt Marcou and I am the eSports Producer on Madden NFL. My goal is to build competitive experiences for the Madden community. One way to think of my job is that I am turning the game of Madden NFL into its own sport and consequently thinking through all of the aspects that a sport needs: championships, prize money, viewing opportunities, a healthy amateur scene, etc.

I’ve been running gaming tournaments for about 15 years now. Most notably I founded the Riot Games’ eSports program and was the former league commissioner for League of Legends Championship Series.
