Our guests include: • Steve Arhancet (Co-CEO of Team Liquid) • Michal Blicharz (VP, Pro Gaming at ESL) • Justin Dellario (Director of Esports Programs at Twitch) • Stan Press (Managing Director, Digital and Gaming at Magid Advisors) In this episode, we discuss the growing popularity and commercial success of esports.
