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.
