Infrastructure Platform for Gaming and Esports
INFRASTRUCTURE PLATFORM FOR GAMING AND ESPORTS Whitepaper 3.0 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Market Overview 4 Problem & Solution 13 Product & Strategy 15 DreamTeam Token 19 Growth and Support 27 Technological Stack 29 Competitor Analysis 30 Token Sale 31 Use of Funds, Token Distribution 32 Team 33 Advisory Board 34 Lead Investor 36 Partners 37 Contacts 39 Sources 40 2 Abstract Presently, gaming is one of the largest entertainment markets on the planet. It’s a $150Bn industry, covering ⅓ of the world’s population, i.e., 2.3Bn people as of 2017. Competitive gaming, a thin line between gaming and sports, has emerged in which players pit their skills against one another online. It already has over 1.4 Bn users concentrated around the top-10 most competitive titles like Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Overwatch, etc. Esports, as it is today, has emerged from competitive gaming — that is, when players compete against each other in computer games professionally. Esports is one of the fastest-growing digital markets with a 33% annual growth rate. Its opportunities are endless: esports will have over 1Bn enthusiasts and viewers by 2023, which is ⅓ of all gamers, and will become the #1 sport of the future. The market has produced spectacular infrastructure around the professional and semi- professional ecosystem, specifically for tournaments and spectating. This is where DreamTeam comes into play as the first professional network for gamers and esports enthusiasts, literally, aLinkedIn for gamers. We are the platform for hundreds of millions of gamers who want to find friends, improve skills, manage clans, and earn money.
