Show Notes
In 2022, between 300 and 500 million people globally watched esports events in one form or another. And with huge audiences come huge revenues and prize pots: DOTA 2, one of the most popular games among fans and competitive players, has an estimated prize pool of over $40 million annually across the various leagues and tournaments. The industry as a whole is worth $1.4 billion, and it's growing fast. Leading the charge is Evil Geniuses. We are joined by CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson to talk about how the industry has sprung up, professionalized, and is now ready to step into the arena with other major professional sports.
