There is no denying the world of esports was already on a rapid  growth rate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.  However, according to TGS  Esports (TGS:TSXV), the growth and awareness of esports over the past  several months has accelerated the industry by at least a couple of  years, if not more. Recognizing this trend, TGS pivoted quickly from venue based esports  to becoming a leader in esports events, sponsorship and productions.   More than just lip service, tournaments hosted to date have been  sponsored by the likes of: Pepsi Red Bull 7-11 Shaw Cable More than just events, TGS also creates high quality production value  out of these events, which have already seen more than 20,000 hours of  viewership on Twitch and featured on GINX Esports TV (Canada), with the  potential to expand with GINX to over 50 countries. If the story ended there, TGS would have the makings of a great early stage esports story …. but it doesn’t $6 MILLION ACQUISITION OF “PEPPER ESPORTS” The recent acquisition of Pepper Esports takes the TGS offering to a  whole different level by providing everyone from enterprise sized  clients to small business to a group of buddies to create their own  esports tournaments.  The platform is so powerful it will handle  everything from registration to game play, prize payouts and everything  in between that an entity needs to host a successful esports tournament. Awesome right?  No, it gets better. Hosting your own esports tournament is FREE.  TGS and Pepper figured  out that the best way to get mass usage of their platform is to make it  $0 upfront and generate $$ from revenue share on all transactions that  take place during the tournament. When you bolt on the fact that TGS can now broadcast that tournament,  the Company believes its offering can’t be matched anywhere in the  world.  We like it so much that we’re already considering hosting  Agoracom esports tournaments for clients and shareholders who can either  play or watch. Watch this great interview with the CEO’s of both TGS and Pepper to  find out more details and feel their mutual excitement about the future.
