UK-based esports education specialist Ntesports has announced a new partnership with broadcast production company ZMS Esports Studio.
ZMS is an independent company ‘dedicated to delivering high-quality, affordable esports coverage’, while ntesports provides teacher resources and consultancy in esports, helping schools and colleges to enter the space.
The pair said in a press release that the collaboration ‘will ensure that schools, colleges, universities and grassroots organisations can access professional esports broadcasting, without the financial barriers often associated with large-scale productions’.
Since its inception in 2019, ZMS Esports Studio has transformed from a passion project into an esports broadcast solution, providing remote and on-site event coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional setups. Its budget-friendly production services aim to help grassroots teams, student-led competitions and educational institutions elevate their events.
ZMS now offers a complete production package starting from just £450 per event exclusively through the Ntesports website.
This includes a branded screen and graphics, custom intro and promo videos, live game capture and player cams, live replays and stinger transitions, independent venue feeds and more.
“Partnering with Ntesports is a perfect match for us. Their dedication to grassroots and educational esports aligns perfectly with our vision of making top-tier broadcast production available to everyone. Whether it’s a school league, a university competition, or a local esports organisation, we’re here to provide high-quality, professional broadcasts without the hefty price tag.”

ZMS also says it’s focused on offering students hands-on insight into production processes and empowering institutions to develop their own in-house capabilities over time.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our support for grassroots esports through this partnership with ZMS Esports Studio,” said Nik Turner, Managing Director of Ntesports.
“Esports is growing rapidly in education, and providing schools and colleges with high-quality, affordable broadcasting solutions will only strengthen the ecosystem. ZMS has an incredible reputation for making professional production accessible, and we can’t wait to bring their expertise to more institutions and grassroots tournaments.”
Founder of ZMS Esports Studio, Damon Bates, added: “Partnering with Ntesports is a perfect match for us. Their dedication to grassroots and educational esports aligns perfectly with our vision of making top-tier broadcast production available to everyone. Whether it’s a school league, a university competition, or a local esports organisation, we’re here to provide high-quality, professional broadcasts without the hefty price tag.”
This partnership was struck after Esports News UK first introduced the pair last year. ZMS had a presence at the 2024 Digital Schoolhouse Splatoon 3 finals last year.
