The Rise of Esports -- a Gamer's Perspective
This article was first published by MyWallSt.
As a gamer, I've witnessed the growth of esports firsthand. To most investors, however, esports remains a mystery. Terms like League of Legends, Fortnite, and Overwatch are typically not part of an investor's vocabulary.
When you delve deeper into this high-growth industry though, you will see that esports has a lot in common with traditional sports: highly skilled players, competitive teams, and a huge amount of money generated from sponsorships and endorsements -- in 2017, total prize pools came to $1.1 billion.
