It's estimated by some that up to 700 million people play the 1500-year-old game. Recently, it has consistently outperformed other esports in terms of online players and viewership. With 420 million players between the ages of 18-34 who play, it's arguably the world biggest sport. With greater brand hygiene, higher female participation and increasing alignment with esports - it's a compelling proposition for brands, broadcasters and teams. We're excited to be bringing our own twist to the classic game.
