NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Allied Esports today announced that the second episode of its original
series, PlayTime™ with KittyPlays, will take place on Friday,
June 21 at 6 p.m. Pacific Time. The show will be streamed live from
HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas on Allied Esports’ Twitch channel, Twitch.tv/alliedesports,
and simulcast on Twitch.tv/kittyplays.

Hosted by popular streamer, Fortnite caster, content creator and
competitive esports player Kristen “KittyPlays” Michaela (@KittyPlays),
episode two of PlayTime with KittyPlays will feature streamer and
caster Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, who will join Michaela via live drop-in to
talk about the latest headlines in gaming and pop culture and play with
the live studio audience in creative gameplay modes in Fortnite. Lupo
will also host the live stream on his Twitch channel, Twitch.tv/drlupo.

Lupo, who burst onto the streaming scene in 2017, is one of the most
prominent online gaming personalities in the world with a total of more
than 10 million followers across his broadcast and social channels. Lupo
is also a recognized Fortnite caster and is slated to cast the $30
million Fortnite World Cup Finals in July.

The show will also include a pre-recorded interview with Minnesota Twins
pitcher Trevor May (@IamTrevorMay),
who is also in Lupo’s regular rotation of gameplay partners on Twitch,
and a gameplay segment with two of his teammates, Blake Parker and Tyler
Duffey, featuring hit multiplayer party game Gang Beasts.

A well-known streamer and content creator for Luminosity Gaming
(@Luminosity), May is deeply passionate about gaming and esports and
spoke at length on a number of topics with Michaela, including: his
relationships with popular streamers like DrLupo, Ninja and
TimTheTatman; the growing crossover between traditional sports and
esports; dealing with trolls on the baseball field and online; video
games in the locker room; the future of esports analytics; why the
battle royale format is so attractive to professional athletes; and how
gaming and streaming helped him recover from Tommy John surgery.

“I made the effort to do something that I wouldn’t be able to do if I
were playing baseball. I got into Twitch,” said May. “I went more or
less full time. As close to full time as I could have gone…and things
took off a little last season. It was a lot of fun. I wouldn’t trade
that for anything, it was great.”
