The global pandemic struck first, followed by an economic meltdown. Then civil unrest broke out in the streets, from Hong Kong to London and across the United States, which reckoned with mass protests over police brutality, racial injustice, one of the most divisive US presidential elections in modern history, and an even more unsettling post-election period. This confluence of crises—spilling into the new year—has demanded much of us all. I’m proud to say that we, as a firm, have risen to meet these challenges, rallying to help our clients and communities get through some of the darkest days and turn toward a brighter future. In the worst of times, O’Melveny is at its best. As the virus spread, we quickly assembled a firmwide Coronavirus Task Force, bringing together lawyers from different practice groups and offices to advise clients on a host of COVID-related concerns. When California’s governor needed to secure additional beds by reopening a shuttered hospital in Los Angeles and revitalizing an underutilized facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, he turned to O’Melveny, as did dozens of other clients in industries as diverse as consumer products, entertainment, financial services, health care, and insurance.

  • Esports High Impact and Investable
    Needham Insights: Thought Leader Series Laura A. Martin, CFA & CMT – [email protected] / (917) 373-3066 September 5, 2019 Dan Medina – [email protected] / (626) 893-2925 eSports High Impact and Investable For the past decade, eSports has been growing on the main stage in Asia and in stealth mode in the US. This report addresses questions we get most often from investors about eSports: ➢ What is eSports? Definitions differ. Our definition of eSports is “players competing at a video game in front of a live audience while being live-streamed.” By implication, viewing, attendance, and playing time are linked, and each creates revenue streams for eSports. ➢ How big is eSports? Globally, one out of every three (ie, 33%) 18-25 year olds spent more than an hour a day playing video games, 395mm people watched eSports, and 250mm people played Fortnite in 2018. eSports revenue will be $1.1B in 2019, up 26% y/y. ➢ Should investors care about eSports? We would argue “yes”, owing to: a) global scale; b) time spent playing and viewing; c) compelling demographics; d) eSports vs traditional sports trends; e) revenue growth; and, f) sports betting should supercharge US eSports. ➢ Is eSports a fad? We would argue “no”, owing to: a) many US Universities now offer Varsity eSports scholarships; b) new special purpose eSports stadiums are proliferating; c) billionaires are investing to make eSports successful; d) audience growth; and, e) Olympics potential. ➢ Why have you never heard of eSports? Because zero of the top 30 earning players in the world were from the US in 2018.

  • E-SPORTS Case Study
    E-SPORTS Case Study How E-Sports is a booming global industry ? c x c r u x . c o m INTRODUCTION Esports is a booming global industry where skilled video gamers play competitively. Contrary to common perception, Esports is not simply a phenomenon occurring in the basements of unemployed twentysomethings the industry is real, growing globally, and investable. In fact, over 380 million people watch esports worldwide both online and in person. More people watched the 2016 world finals of popular esports game League of Legends (43 million viewers) than the NBA Finals Game 7 that year (31 million viewers). www.cxcrux.com Page 2 WHICH ESPORTS GAMES ARE MOST POPULAR? Though the actual rankings of the most popular esports games change slightly month-to-month, the ten most-watched games on dominant streaming site Twitch remain consistent. As of right now, League of Legends remains the most-watched eSport in the world. It’s also worth noting, for those less familiar with esports, that the most popular games are not traditional sports-related video games such as Madden or FIFA. www.cxcrux.com Page 3 INVOLVED PARTIES PLAYERS Becoming a top Esports player is no simple achievement. To rise through the ranks, players specialize in a specific game, developing their skills through extensive, competitive play. Streaming: Gamers who Livestream themselves as they play video games are referred to as "streamers." This is typically done in casual play. While streaming can be incredibly profitable, many streamers have to decide whether they want to stream for a living or try and play professionally and run the risk of making less money.
