Yes indeed we are in for a very exciting time now, as the year continues, and into next year, as we witness the creation of an 'Olympic of Esports' in the Middle East as a hub is created.

[hazl] 21/11/2019 13:46

Ah a tickup today.

[hazl] 20/11/2019 07:49

Thanks very interesting indeed.

It just makes you realise soletrader that we really are at the start of the journey,still.

I felt that this guy was young and dynamic,understood the business, the potential and the trends.

Fascinating the way he interpreted the growing and changing brand interest.

We are so used to this name, GFINITY and the role of the tournament operator,as Esports has taken off in a big way for investors.
Recognising,as we have, the overwhelming potential, through the interest of this younger demographic we might forget that it is still new to many.

Indeed Esports can be interpreted in many different investment ways.

We can take advantage, right across the spectrum, in this industry.

BIDS for example, for the advertising aspect in native advertising; companies.
TM17 providing the games themselves and naturally GFIN as the tournament organiser .
This role I believe is quite substantial as it has experts in sports and media but can translate that across into a new ecosystem and help bring people into this environment as fans or brands get involved.

I think we are in for a very exciting time now, as the year continues, and into next year, as we witness the creation of an 'Olympic of Esports' in the Middle East as a hub is created.
Continuing,of course as they build to the 2022 Summer Youth Olympics in Dakar.

What did I tell you tards this stock is dead,management has no clear direction. All they are depending on is terrible short term contracts. What a waste.

[silver tortoise] 11/11/2019 16:05

So have I.

Listened to the Vox Markets podcast from last week and decided to pick up a few.Like BIDS, have to be patient with this one.

'Britain needs to step om the e-sports pedal.'

'Gfinity is listed in London,they say,'which runs the Elite series of tournaments.'
They do say momentum is building in Britain.

'An Olympic e-sport would confirm the industry's arrival in the main-stream and help demystify a part of the entertainment business'...
'It will be hard to ignore it for much longer .

In the past decade ,e-sports has quietly become one of the fastest-growing parts of the digital economy.'
Apparently the trade body has said that support was needed from Government,schools,and universities.
'Without it ,Britain could miss out on one of the fastest growing entertainment sectors.'

We have had a mention in the S Times business.

[hazl] 04/11/2019 11:56

Ah!
Bet it's a prelude to the Mello event approaching!

Got into SFOR this morning,too, any holders here?

[hazl] 04/11/2019 11:53

Fairly large trade gone through...unclear if it's a buy or sell but certainly the price rose at the time of the trade.
Be interesting to see if there is any follow-up.

IMO

[hazl] 01/11/2019 15:14

Agree completely longertermgains and reassuring to know that somebody from ADVFN is going.
Can't expect something for nothing but any feedback of course would be welcome. I expect to see a bit of a rise in the share price around this event.
Hope so!ti

Mello: will definitely attend. It is significant that this is their first appearance at a private investor event and at Mello. Management are much more confident: reinitiation note from Liberum, more RNS Reach announcements, and Mello. The shares fail to reflect the new strategy, the sales success, and the prospect of a transition to FCF without another funding. GFIN is undervalued.

[hazl] 01/11/2019 14:47

Thank you David....wish I could attend.
Anyone else going?

It's no doubt a hot sector and one that will be massive into 2020. Company will be bringing in some serious revenues in the coming year. Given the low market cap this could be a very good earner for those with a medium term view.

Interesting Excerpt...

Global esports Market:
Esports has a large and growing global audience tapping into the 2.2bn global video gamers. According to the most recent study by industry analysts Newzoo, there is an estimated audience of 454m (253m occasional viewers and 201m esports enthusiasts) in 2019 (+15%) and this is expected to grow to 645m in 2022, a five-year CAGR of 14.0%. This would put esports on a par with traditional sports such as baseball, American football, rugby and golf.

The global esports market is expected to be worth $1.1bn in 2019 (+27%) and within this brand investment revenue (media rights, advertising and sponsorship) will account for the largest proportion (82%). Although this represents significant growth, esports remains much less monetised than traditional sports – the global average revenue per esports enthusiast is expected to be $5.45 (+9%) – even though esports sponsorship generates a 2-3x ROI compared with traditional sports sponsorship (Source: Nielsen).

This differential appears unsustainable and a number of KPIs suggest that this will narrow over time: the increase in total prize money and the number of major events, the entrance of endemic and non-endemic brands and the growing awareness of esports.
For example, July’s Fortnite World Cup gained considerable mainstream media coverage after Kyle Giersdorf (16) won $3m in the solo event and Jaden Ashman (15) won almost £1m for coming second in the duos event. The total prize pool of $30m was the largest in esports history to date and 40m players attempted to qualify over ten weeks of online competition. The finals were held at the Arthur Ashe stadium in New York, home to the US Open Tennis where the top prize was $3.85m.

The past 18 months has seen the arrival of a number of non-endemic brands (e.g. State Farm, Mastercard, Unilever, Mars, Audi, DHL, Nike, Puma, Vodafone and Domino’s). For example, season one of the Overwatch League included two endemic brands (Intel and OMEN by HP) and Toyota, Sour Patch Kids and T-Mobile as partners and Dolby, Spotify and Cheez-It were brought on as incremental sponsors. Season two added Coke and State Farm. Nielsen estimates more than 600 esports sponsorship agreements have been signed since the start of 2016.

Most brands are still wary of esports, given concerns about computer game addiction, bullying and market fragmentation. Hence they look to the likes of Gfinity to provide the necessary experience and expertise to develop a successful esports programme in order to reach a large and growing audience.

I wondered if the paid for must have more to it.

That was my point!

[hazl] 29/10/2019 08:29
