3 eSports Stocks to Benefit from the Boom

When a leading marketing publication like Adweek prints a major headline about an up-and-coming trend, we should all take notice. It certainly grabbed my attention when “Any Brand Not Marketing in the Esports World is Already Behind the Curve” hit the internet on Tuesday. An industry valued at $1.5 billion with a global audience of 385 million is tough to miss. Yet most advertisers have been completely ignoring the world of eSports. Big mistake. The backers of the industry include the biggest names in professional sport. And this is just the beginning.

And as technology and connectivity continue to advance, we’ll soon be at the point where just about everything has a chip in it. I like this company.
