Investment cases and opportunities in e-sports

2016 has become a significant year for world and, particularly, Russian e-sports. In August, Valve organized The International 2016 tournament on Dota 2. The initial prize pool of 1.6 million dollars reached more than 20 million due to ticket fee. The winning team got a record winning sum – more than 9 million dollars.

The Russian industry market is growing after including e-sports into the official sports register. Well, Yota telecommunication company became a general partner of the Russian eSports Cup 2016 tournament with the prize pool of 5 million rubles.

October news that metals and mining USM Holding along with United Media Television Holding Russia (controlling such TV channels as STS, Muz-TV, Disney Channel, U, etc.) invested 100 million dollars into Virtus.pro e-sports organization was the most debated on the domestic market.
