eSports – a threat or an opportunity for traditional sports

A ‘bonus’ show where I, Dan McLaren, got to sit down with 3 people who really know what the eSports industry is like. And we recorded it on the amazing studio boat owned by The Who’s Pete Townshend. Thanks to Audioboom for sorting that out for us!

Vas Roberts – VP Sales, FACEIT
Jonny Madill – Sports & eSports Lawyer, Sheridans
Malph Minns – MD, Strive Sponsorship

In this episode we covered a wide range of topics that ranged from the investment in players/teams from traditional sport to the governance of eSports leagues.

Please give us a follow or a comment, review on any of our platforms. There will be a new episode every Tuesday and Friday so make sure you sign up!

You can also hear Vas, Malph and either Jonny or Andrew Nixon from Sheridans, talk about the subject in more depth and will explore different angles at the Digital Sport Summit at Villa Park (26th Oct). For tickets go to http://bit.ly/2edggNr
