GamesBeat Summit 2024: Esports – the Power of growing community

A lot has changed over the last two and a half years in the esports industry. Industry-wide consolidation and cooling interests from venture capital inspired a panel on the esports winter at GamesBeat Next 2022. While the industry is still finding a new normal, we hosted a panel at GamesBeat Summit 2024, with Monica Dinsmore, Sr. director, esports and brand marketing at Electronic Arts, and Mike Sepso, CSO at ESL Faceit Group, to learn more about why publishers continue to invest and how service providers can drive in-game outcomes.

Both Dinsmore and Sepso agreed that the industry is in a period of right-sizing after investing into an industry that’s still developing a sustainable business model. However, esports competitions are still driving critical outcomes.
