AFFILIATE MARKETING IX. ABOUT IFRAH LAW I. INTRODUCTION ©2019 Ifrah Law 3 y 2010, the internet had become an indispensable part of virtually every as- pect of our lives. We read newspapers, books, and magazines online instead of on paper, we shopped online instead of visiting the mall, and we streamed movies directly from the internet rather than renting them from a video store. BAlso by this time, much of our daily interactions with other human beings occurred over the internet, through email and social media. Entertainment of all forms had migrated online. Consumers across age groups were increasingly turning to computers and mobile devices for music, television shows, and the news. Yet in 2010, there was no legal internet-based, real money gaming in the United States. A number of companies, largely located offshore, offered online poker and other games, but did so in a legal gray area. In 2011, the federal government announced that online domestic sites offering gaming were functioning illegally under applicable legislation and ordered the shut-down of the largest internet poker websites in the U.S. This created a vacuum that several states sought to fill by passing laws to legalize online intrastate iGaming. In the years that followed, a growing number of states began permitting real money online poker and other internet games.

  • ESL Announces European Grassroots Initiative Expanding Path to Pro League for CS:GO
    Jun 26, 2017 16:00 BST ESL Announces European Grassroots Initiative Expanding Path to Pro League for CS:GO The world’s largest esports company, ESL, is today proud to reveal a new initiative to expand its path for aspiring Counter-Strike: Global-Offensive (CS:GO) players to rise through the ranks from the National Championship level onto the amateur ranks in order to qualify for the largest CS:GO league in the world, the ESL Pro League. Starting with ESEA Season 26, the winners of the ESL UK Premiership and the ESL Mistrzostwa Polski, the official national leagues of the UK & Ireland and Poland respectively, will claim a place to compete in the Mountain Dew League (MDL). This unique partnership provides a clear pathway for CS:GO players to progress from amateur ranks to compete on the world stage linking the national leagues to the Pro League through MDL. The investment in the path-to-pro system will continue from Season 27 with ESL’s French, Spanish and German leagues providing qualification spots to the MDL, establishing ESL’s national leagues as the leading grassroots CS:GO leagues in each territory. The already-established ESEA League will continue to run alongside this new initiative. To achieve this, ESL is set to move its European National Championships to be part of ESEA’s system creating promotion spots up to MDL, the only league that feeds directly into the Pro League. The team that wins the National Championship will qualify for the MDL, creating a clear path from there to the Pro League.

  • Esports Insights
    GLOBAL eSports Insights Making Sense of the Economics There has been much discussion regarding eSports team valuation recently, particularly given that Blizzard is currently seeking franchise investors for its Overwatch League (LINK). In general, eSports franchise valuations have varied significantly, with estimated valuation ranges from $2m-$5m in non-major market to upwards of $30m in major markets. We expect valuations to continue to vary widely based on various factors, with roughly three distinct levels.

  • Esports an Emerging Industry
    eSports An Emerging Industry Rohan Bose Mercer Capital www.mercercapital.com BUSINESS VALUATION & FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES eSports is a rapidly expanding industry that has drawn viewers and investments alike. The introduction of streaming platforms as well as the improvement in mobile technology has allowed the industry to grow from its arcade hall beginnings in the 1970s to compet- itors streaming games to millions of viewers globally. In addition to being highly visible (192 million frequent viewers in 2017), the eSports industry is also lucrative ($906 million projected industry revenue in 2018). The History of eSports Sprouting from humble beginnings, researchers trace the roots of the eSports industry to informal competitions held at video game arcades in the 1970s. One of the first breakthroughs came in 1980 when Atari’s National Space Invaders Championship drew 10,000 participants across the U.S. As a spectator sport, eSports first took off in South Korea, when cable networks broadcast StarCraft tourna- ments in the early 2000s. By 2004, StarCraft stadium events in South Korea drew 100,000 fans. In the U.S., the coming of age moment arrived in 2013 when 13,000 people flooded the Staples Center to watch the world championship final of League of Legends. A Growing Audience The eSports industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years. According to data from Newzoo, an eSports researcher, the global eSports audience totaled 204 million in 2014. Approximately 56% (114 million) were considered frequent viewers/enthusiasts while the remaining 44% (90 million) were categorized as occasional viewers. By 2017, the global audience grew to 335 million, a compound annual growth rate of approximately 36% and the viewership ratio was approximately the same (57% categorized as frequent viewers/enthusiasts and 43% as occasional viewers).
