Kelsey Moser, an economics graduate student and the associate coach for Boise State Esports, joined Boise State after her own esports world tour.
Her career has taken her to Shanghai, where she covered the Chinese League of Legends league as a freelance writer; to Berlin, where she coached a low-budget esports team to the playoffs; and to Los Angeles, where she worked for gaming industry giants like Evil Geniuses and Riot Games.
When Moser decided to hone in on esports coaching, Boise State’s team stood out as a top choice.
“Boise State is concerned about the people we recruit,” she said. “We don’t do a lot of player trades. You come here, you stay and you’re here to get your degree. We want players to love it here.”
This year, alongside Economics Professor Michail Fragkias, Moser helped establish two esports internships for economics graduate students.
“Everything in esports is data,” Moser said. “There’s lots of need for analysis, and no one has cracked the perfect analytical model for all the variables in esports. It’s exciting that our interns are working on that.”
