Beyond the Summit is an esports production company focused on creating unique and authentic events, shows, and content.

Founded in 2012, the company began as a DOTA 2 casting project and grew thanks to grassroots community support to become the world’s premier English DOTA 2 broadcasting studio. In recent years, BTS has expanded into many other games and today works closely with a variety of game developers, brands, and tournament organizers across the globe.

THE SUMMIT SERIES

The company's signature tournament series “The Summit” is known for its player commentary couches and memorable content skits as much as its high level competition.

The DOTA Summit, now nearing its 9th iteration, is a part of Valve's Dota Pro Circuit, the first ever Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event cs_summit produced record-breaking viewership and engagement, and the Smash Summit 5 crowdfunded over $275,000 to help produce the largest prize pool in Smash Melee history.


----FOR THE ONES UNFAMILIAR with the summit.
DBFZ had a huge one last year and the NRS community's own Sonic Fox participated - here is an example as well as a wrapup of the event.

Summit of Power was one of the greatest productions I've ever seen, from start to finish. I'm all in for this.

yes, totally agree. The production value and excitement from the tournaments are through the roof.

I just wonder of this spells the end of ESL MK

 

[villainous monk]

This is big. I like this a lot. This is huge for the mk community. Summit of Power was absolutely amazing and polished well. I'm super glad we have this opportunity to showcase Mortal Kombat 11 there.

Imagine the reveals. The game play and possible beefs of other dudes there or not.

The insane gameplay... Wow. This is huge.

Nah. I don't think it will. ESL and Summit can co-exist.

They'll be tourneys every weekend.

Trust me. This summer is gonna lit!

 

[xXRagingFlameXx]

Ayyyy dope stuff. To be frank, I never really got into the esports side of games. (The only tournament I watched was the one where they revealed the Fighter Pack 3 or something.)

But I definitely wanna get into checking out more tournaments for MK11. I've been enjoying watching high-level gameplay when it comes to MKX First to 10s on Youtube. It's just super hype and it'll be exciting to check it out and keep up to date with stuff like that!

Why this isn't on the front page? Like.... hello?????

@HellblazerHawkman

You do realise Hawk and I have lives outside of refreshing TYM every five minutes right? Like....hello???

 

[Ger187]

What is "summit of time"? Is it like the ESL online tourneys?

I know that, but it's like 2 days already and this is a big deal for the NRS E-sports scene. Didn't mean to disrespect anyone. Hope I've made myself cleared.

It is an E-sports event made by an E-Sports event production company named Beyond the Summit, and from what I know it will include tourneys as well.

 

[Poto2222]

Not gonna lie, seeing "ESPORTS" in a thread title here on TYM feels super weird.

 

[Tony at Home]

I wasn't super fond of the Summit of Power production actually. 4 commentators at once was a bit much...

Ok cool but is it a online tourney like ESL or is it local?

Well ESL is short for E-Sports League...

 

[KidVanDal]

Invite only.
More like fatal 8 than esl.

Okay thanks for the answer

I mean tagging a thread as esports in a website that used to be widely known specifically for, well, competitive gaming discussions (a.k.a. esports). I kind of agree with @Treadmill on this. =/

Oh yeah. Totally misunderstood.
Thought you meant it like “TYM hon Hollywood now” like. And thought it weird since you’ve been on here for so long.

 

[stokedAF]

Never heard of them. I will be checking it out for sure.

 

[Jynks]

know nothing about it.. but I'm in for sure. It is a twitch stream I guess?

 

[haketh]

Can’t wait for the Mafia match & to see if anyone makes the misplay of the century like Fox did during Summit of Power trying to turn Yipes & Chris Matrix against each other

 

[Obly]

Wonder if the name has any significance? Curious if "Summit of Time" is just a reference to the game's story or if it has some relevance for how the events will be structured.
