Our participants recently had the opportunity to interact, learn from, and pick the brain of Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 Esports.
Alban Dechelotte talked about the gaming industry and the role of esports, their current importance, as well as their expected—if not inevitable—growth.
An eye opening moment was when Alban Dechelotte made a fact-based comparison of the gaming industry to other forms of entertainment. In addition, he made a very strong case about the attractiveness of the esports audience to advertisers when compared to the respective audience of traditional sports. He also provided great insights regarding the business model of the top esports teams, contrasting it to that of top European football clubs.
