Evolve Labs has unveiled a new BlackFlag esports service where you players can compete in League of Legends esports games for cash prizes.

The service is part of the growing esports market, which market researcher SuperData Research thinks could hit $1.9 billion by 2018 according. BlackFlag melds esports and skill-based gaming, where teams of five will pay a $5 entry to compete with other teams of similar skills for cash prizes. The company hopes that its mash-up of a wildly popular game and the cash prizes will create a lot of demand among esports fans who want to put real money on the line.
