  • Engagement levels between esports and traditional sports is not that different. In some cases esports is higher.
  • This is just the beginning. More interest is coming now from traditional players, sponsors and broadcast companies.
  • Sponsors from traditional sports are starting to look into esports now.
  • There is a lot of room for growth. Media companies are trying to devote a part of their business to this segment.
  • Each game title will have its own trends just like different sports do.
  • The dynamics are changing. Cable subscription dollars have no benefit to esports.
  • Unlike sports, where you watch esports is the same place where you play the game and will likely help its engagement grow faster.
  • Blizzard is listening to feedback and trying to come up with ways to make Overwatch easier to understand to viewers.
  • Blizzard tries to implement things in spectating that adhere to both a non-player and a fan.
  • It is up to each individual fan whether the game or the players in the league are the most interesting part of watching.
  • Getting a strong stable of team owners who were invested in the league was important to initial success.
  • The development team is also very important and making sure the same strategy isn't used over and over.
  • The idea of City-based teams was taken from traditional sports and helps with sponsorship.
