All indications are that this trend will continue. Thus, there is in other words a lot to be said for esports being here to stay and attracting a growing audience.

"Given the great interest it is particularly gratifying that we have created a unique opportunity for all the talents out there who want to become esports professionals. We start in Sweden but the ambition is bigger than that - the next step is to launch globally” says Fredrik Ivansson, CEO International Format Group.

The deal is based on distribution partners, merchandise, licensing and the creation of new pro teams.
