Poker Central has a sister, ESP Gaming, a competitive gaming and production company looking to handle some of the most prominent esports contests in the world.

Games like Overwatch, League of Legends (LOL) and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are wrapped up in a comet hurtling through the entertainment industry at 366 mph per second. Poker is standing patiently at the bus stop. It can hear the comet coming. Let’s hope it can catch the tail because if it flies past, I can’t see how anyone will ever notice it.

PokerStars has the answer; I’m sure of that.

Poker needs a hit of Darwinism. It needs to mutate quickly, to evolve, to become stronger, faster, and more enjoyable to people who have never tried the game. PokerStars has done this with Power Up. The Global Poker League (GPL) looks like it will soon become the Global Player League (GPL) dropping the word ‘poker’ and welcoming competitive gaming on a broader scale. And now it’s the turn of Poker Central.
