Manchester City have launched a new video series which gives fans an insight into the lives of the Club’s professional esports players and brings them closer to the action.

Offline will follow the progress of Ryan Pessoa and Shaun ‘Shellzz’ Springette throughout the season and is available to watch on City’s official YouTube channel.

WATCH OFFLINE: EPISODE ONE ON YOUTUBE

The first episode, which is out now, sees Ryan and Shellzz compete for their spot at the ePremier League finals, with each man sharing their thoughts on the tournament and their own form.

With 16 players battling it out for the right to represent City, only two can win – one on Xbox and one on PlayStation.

Our esports professionals were both aiming to ensure they were crowned the winners of the Club Playoff, with Ryan aiming to avenge his defeat in last year’s final which prevented him from representing City at the main ePremier LEague tournament.

The first instalment of Offline also sees Shellzz in red hot form as he racked up an astonishing 14-0 victory.

In episode two, the CityTV cameras will follow both players at the FIFAe Club World Cup, which pits esports players representing teams from across the globe against each other in a bid to discover the best player in the world.

Ryan and Shellzz both hold the record for the highest number of appearances at this event and in Offline’s second show we’ll learn how they perform at the latest tournament.
