| Hi, | Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, continues to spread throughout the US and around the world disrupting lives professionally and personally.
While the cancelation of major sports leagues and tournaments has been getting much of the attention, earnings from the esports and digital gaming industry will also drop this year as a result.
The World Health Organization has officially classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the virus has caused the cancelation of the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments, along with the suspension of the NBA and NHL seasons and a delay to the start of the MLB season.
Given the digital nature of video games, one might think esports would be exempt from this disruption, but esports tournaments and leagues require public gathering as much as any other sport. The cancelation of these events will almost certainly drive esports earnings, once forecasted to eclipse $1 billion in 2020, down with its peer sports.
But that doesn’t mean the esports market is in danger; in fact, it will likely come back stronger than ever. To that end, Business Insider Intelligence has put together The Esports Bundle, which contains both our Esports Ecosystem and Esports Audience reports.
The Esports Ecosystem gives readers a clear understanding of how the major players and components of esports function so that they can more readily take advantage of the many opportunities this dynamic ecosystem presents, while Esports Audience Report explains the growth of the esports audience and why it presents an attractive advertising opportunity for brands.
Ordinarily these two reports would cost you $995 but through this email offer, you can claim them both for just $795 – a 20% discount! | | |
