Esports is already disrupting and revolutionising several industries around the globe. Experts believe that more is set to come.

According to Newzoo, a global leader in esports intelligence, esports revenue is expected to grow to USD 1.5 billion by 2020 as the brand investment doubles. Brand investment which includes media rights, advertisement and sponsorship, will take 80% of the total revenue.

Beacon Events, one of the leading conference organisers in the Asia-Pacific, has announced that the first ever Asia Esports Forum will be held on 6-7 November 2018 at W Taipei in Taiwan.

The Forum has gathered key players from the industry including, John Lee, Executive Chairman – Asia at ESL Gaming, Chris Tran, General Manager – Southeast Asia at Riot Gaming, and Minsoo Kim, CEO of Ambrasia Group Limited & AMPT eSports Enterprises.
