Esports: Investment landscape in 2019
• Esports audiences are larger than most people think; they are global, and they are growing, driving interest from mainstream brands looking for ways to engage a younger crowd • Much of the pure play opportunity has been limited to the private domain where sports team owners, professional athletes and other celebrities - or in other words those with experience building an audience - have been active • The esports sector is characterized by global reach and impressive CAGRs (viewership +14.4%, revenues +27.4% through to 2021 per Newzoo) • In the North American private sector, esports teams have attracted significant interest from corporate and strategic investors • An often-overlooked beneficiary is the online esports gambling sector, which we believe is poised to grow in stride. Esports gambling websites benefit from being agnostic of the publisher, IP issues, and game popularity • 10 emerging North American esports companies: o Aquilini Group o Askott entertainment o Ateyo o aXiomatic (Team Liquid) o Beyond the Summit o Cineplex (CGX-TSX) o Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX-TSXV) o OverActive Media o PMML Corp. (Rivalry) o Reciprocity
