March Update

MagiKPanda 03-30-2021

Hello everyone!

As we build the foundation for Emerald Esports and our events on GYO, we want to make sure that you know how to use our website and Discord server.

Our primary means of communication will be Discord (emails will be sent out as well, but we want to shift our esports communication to the Discord channel). We highly recommend you set up Discord so you can get familiar with it.

You can get the app or use a browser version here: discord.com
