Opportunity

         No dominant infrastructure company powering esports

          ●     Fragmented channels have made it difficult for esports companies
                to generate revenue compared to traditional sports

          ●     Lack of standardization – unlike a traditional sports league, difficult
                to secure for rights on behalf of teams
          ●     Lack of permanent digital and physical infrastructure
                for supporting events
          ●     Difficult to manage global broadcasting
                and advertising channels
