Editor's Notes
- Dustin beck in 2013, on the LCS
- Snapshot of the publisher revenue in December 2013 in MMs – not hard to see why esports is an afterthought
- Then amazon buys twitch in august of 2014, for 1 billion dollars, built on the backs of all this esports content
- ESL, the premiere 3rd party organizer of tournaments is then scooped up for $86mm by the Swedish media company MTG
- Open APIs Access to data streams, ability to build products on top of the original experience Control over media rights Need to ask publisher for the right to air, even for the right branding/logos/etc Monetization avenues Sports betting, illegal sponsors list controlled by publisher
- SFDC Market cap of $50BB IDC estimates that the AppExchange generates 2.8x SFDC revenue! Slack 1.25mm+ paying users 3.8bb valuation Still recognized the need early for supporting new integrations
- Howcan the brands in the audience get involved? ADD YOUR EXPERTISE - ESPORTS HAS LONG BEEN DRIVEN BY PASSIONATE INDIVIDUALS, GENERALISTS, BUT TO REALLY MOVE FORWARD THE INDUSTRY WE NEED SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS Eleague – production WME|IMG – sponsorships Big Ten – collegiate sports Pinnacle sports – just took their 5 millionth esports bet, first one was taken in 2010
