As eSports Market Grows Beyond $1 Billion, ReKTGlobal Expands with 3 New Ventures

By Jonathan Leack

eSports infrastructure company ReKTGlobal has announced three new eSports ventures: ReKTVenues, ReKTLive, and ReKTMedia, each with their own specialties that range from the design of events, to how they are delivered to viewers.

While ReKTVenues will focus on locating and outfitting venues for eSports events and tournaments. ReKTLive will be concerned with how events are designed and delivered. Meanwhile, ReKTMedia will be centered on video production and sponsorships.

Together, these ventures will aim to deliver high visibility eSports events.

This move is one of many made by eSports brands this year spurred by continued growth of the eSports industry, which is currently on-track to break $1 billion in market size through sponsorships, prize pools, merchandise, and ticket sales.
