Do you remember the times where thinking about video games and playing video games itself as a profession and a very lucrative one as well, was seen as more of an opium dream rather than a reality?

Yet still, the gap between said A-listers getting more involved in the world of Esports and professional gaming and the actual industries themselves seems to be quite notorious. If you were to look at the potential and the numbers that the global Esports and gaming business realms manage to amass year in and year out, it’s frankly a bit hard to understand why such a gap would exist, especially taking into account how much more revenue could be produced by having strong endorsement and advertising deals between both parties, celebrities, and the Esports and gaming industries.
But now, given that 2022 is positioning itself to be yet another year of substantial economic growth for the world of Esports and pro gaming, with initial projections reflecting that revenue grossing percentages could end up being over 30% of all total revenue made by the Esports and gaming industries, the time for celebrities to jump on to the Esports bandwagon is coming.
