Esports is generating buzz in two of the largest gaming locations in the world. The impact of the gamers is too enormous to ignore. It is new to Las Vegas and Atlantic City. They are embracing the concepts by giving dedicated space to gamers participating in tournaments that are being televised by the Twitch Network.
We attended the Gears of War competition last weekend in Atlantic City. The tournament was held in Caesars Atlantic City Showroom. The top prize was $70,000. Here are some photos of that event.
The NBA has proposed an Esports league that will begin in 2018 and feature NBA2K. This is a brilliant marketing move that will expand the audience. This will result in increases in jersey sales and attendance revenue. The Sixers have already committed to having a team that will represent their brand.
More Esports news in the coming weeks. Members of the gaming industry may want to consider attending the ECGC in Atlantic City. There is sure to be a session that will highlight Esports. We plan to attend and provide coverage of that prestigious event. The dates are May 24 and 25.
