The impact of Big Four audit firms in eSports market research

The impact of Big Four audit firms in eSports market research

The global eSports market is at peak, companies are investing and gamers are participating. Everything is going into the right direction. The prize-pool distributed across the whole eSports industry amounted to $65 million in the year 2015. According to the marketing and research intelligence companies like Newzoo and SuperData, the enormous growth recorded to be gradually growing at a healthy and steady rate.

Everyday when people tend to recognize the word eSports and discus the market size, the figures are in billions and time period in not more than couple of years from now.

Esports market research

Reporting and analysis are the business tools to determine the status of the industry and market size. Earlier, when PwC reported the massive revenue potential in the Esports industry which was over $500 million, market strategists and researchers were given an opportunity to reconcile the factual figures to assure the enormous developing industry to the masses.

“Esports is reaching some kind of tipping point.” “eSports: Bigger and smaller than you think”

Deloitte’s Director of research in Technology and Media, Duncan Stewart called eSports market research as “all over the place”,they also added “esports advocates overestimate the current market size” which was definitely a blow to the industry with millions of fan followings and billions of content on the frontline.

Up until now, it’s been only a couple of pages. But what if the Big Four really start digging into esports? Chris Lederer, who was involved in the creation of the PwC report, stated that

“Large professional service companies are now covering, talking and consulting on the esports business. Lots of global players start to enter. We hear our own clients talk about it. I would say it makes a story.”

Is it the beginning of the “Big Four of esports”? It very well could be. For smaller-scale specialists like Newzoo and SuperData, it means a remarkable amount of competition. There is no comfort zone anymore; there is no guaranteed publicity.

KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte and pwc might enter into Esports market research

Esports is an extremely one of a kind business sector, however. Brands from more conventional organizations happen to commit a considerable measure of errors when they first enter the stage. Just as of late, it was Bud Light’s crusade declaration that left us with only destructive weariness. Also, the same is valid for PwC’s and Deloitte’s reports. Rather than truly sparkling a light available, both organizations viewed themselves as fulfilled by an exhausting wrap up of what was—pretty much—definitely known.

Indeed, Deloitte shook things up a little with their theory of esports being “greater and littler than you might suspect.” And yes, PwC’s study which asserted that a bigger number of ladies are included in esports than men was useful for a ton of features. Be that as it may, in the more noteworthy plan of things, both reports scarcely touched the most superficial layer.

That doesn’t imply that one of the Big Four wouldn’t be fit for understanding a strong esports study. Deloitte and PwC utilize somewhere in the range of 200,000 experts around the world. Both create income of more than $30 billion every year. It would lift esports statistical surveying to another level. It would be a distinct advantage simply like when previous NBA player Rick Fox purchased a spot in the LCS, ESPN established an esports vertical, or TBS reported their own particular League.

In the standard keep running of things, developing specialty markets—which have been ruled by expert organizations until then—as soon as possible pull in the huge cash. All of a sudden, since quite a while ago settled brands enter the space and claim their domain. Whether it’s expert groups, media associations, or business sector knowledge organizations, the pattern is self-evident: huge fish eat little fish.

All you need to know about World Esports Association – WESA

All you need to know about World Esports Association – WESA

Earlier today, an image was posted by a Reddit user (now deleted his account), which seemed to be a back-drop for some announcement being ruled out by an organization, or firmly association called WESA, abbreviated, World Esports Association. The image was leaked prior to the announcement by the printer who was given the job-work, unfortunately he leaked something which wasn’t supposed to be made public that way, out of excitement.

Although this is still unclear about what WESA will actually do, the presumption can be made upon the involvements of the biggies and the association title.

World Esports Association

From what the name suggests to be, association is “a connection or cooperative link between people or organizations. ” which in simpler form means, a group of people organized for a joint purpose. The purpose maybe something to do with events, companies, participation and could be sponsors as well. World Esports Association can also be defined as a resistant organization and group of people which, if collaborate or agree to each other, will not be able to adhere and do business elsewhere.

From what we could derive from the leaked image, it has names of some of the world’s biggest eSports organizations, ESL, fnatic, Na’vi, Virtus.Pro, HellRaisers, mousesports, Ninjas In Pyjamas, and EnVyUs. Astralis has been left out due to unknown reasons.

What possibly will be the role of WESA

An organization or an association of this level with some of the world’s biggest organization as their committers will surely be very powerful. A representative of the association will have the powers in decision making in every terms. For an instance, if ESL organizes a WESA-limited event, no teams other than the WESA-supported ones will be able to participate in the event and it also goes vice-versa. The WESA cooperated teams and organizations might as well not be allowed to participate elsewhere or other events organized by non-ESL management.

This kind of barrier and its relentless operations will limit the community in a specified dimensions which will be under control of WESA. With absence of Valve’s interference and community discussions, the organizations and the law makers at WESA would possibly have the control over all of the participating organization with their mutual consent.

Disgraceful and unethical move

Not only on Reddit and its threads, perhaps the community heavy weights are also expecting something which will not be healthy and worthy for future of the game since everything will be limited and entitled to the decision makers of WESA. In other words, the game, organizers, participants will be entering into a political venture which will be under the control of the association and everything.. without the game possessor, Valve.

Old eLeVeN on a break, EHOME left with four man Roster

The recent rumors of ‘eleven’ being kicked from team EHOME is been clarified by the Organisation as they announced that eleven is not kicked from the team.

Eleven decided to put up a break on his professional gaming carrier until the end of Ti6.

old elevenRen ‘eLeVeN’ Yangwei

Ehome’s Management Stated:

“Due to his grandfather’s recent health issues, along with his own personal desire, eLeVeN has chosen to take a break until after TI6 in order to spend time with family and recharge. Since joining EHOME, he’s been a great contributor and friend and we support his decision no matter what it is. When the time comes, eLeVeN will be welcomed back into the EHOME family fully. ”

Source : Ehome’s Twitlonger

The reason for elevens decision to take a break till the end of ti6 is also because of their recent performance which lead them in a position of not qualifying for big LAN events and even failing to qualify for the The Manila Majors.

Eleven also stated that he will return back to the scene after TI6 and most likely to the same team.

Old Eleven Leaves for a break, Ehome Left with 4 man roster.

Due to Eleven’s departure, Ehome is now left with 4 players. The organisation will soon announce the last member of team who will play as a stand in for team team during the absence of their position one (Carry) player i.e Old Eleven.

As Ehome did not register any substitute player on the Valve’s team registration, departure of “Old eleven” from team will result in the loss of opportunity from getting direct invites at TI6. As the rules states disqualification of any organisation that changes roster after 27th of March. Ehome now have to either transfer a player from another team, Or look up for the free agents to complete their roster to participate in further tournaments during course of Old Elevens break

EHOME current roster:

Ren ‘eLeVeN‘ Yangwei
Wang ‘old chicken‘ Zhiyong
Daryl Koh ‘iceiceice‘ Pei Xiang

The third map, however, was very similar to what previously happened with Renegades starting strong and were able to put the favorable first half at 11-4 as terrorist.

Mushi returns to Fnatic DotA 2 squad, 343 to replace Net

Even though after the spectacular performance from team Fnatic in the past few month which got the team direct invites to the tournaments and majors. The organization had to go through some roster changes, while Mushi steps back in the team 343 will be replacing Net.

Fnatic with the current roster is regarded as one of the best teams in the world and currently ranked at position 1 according to the data and stats from GosuGamers. Although the organization had to through the roster changes, there was little concern about the performance, the major reason behind the roster shuffle was irrelevant to the in-game performances, having a team with 6 players is always been a problem and Fnatic was the victim of a similar misfortune with their current roster.

Right after the Shanghai Majors, DJ wanted a break to sort his VISA issues which lead to the team being in an unfortunate position with only 4 active players. Eventually, to participate in the forthcoming tournaments Fnatic decided to take up 343 as a stand-in.

The performance of the team was marvelous after the addition of 343 to the roster and Fnatic then decided to have him as a full time substitute in their roster since the tuning of the rest of the players as the players were comfortable playing with him.

Later, When It was the time for DJ to Return to the team when Mushi was the next one to take a temporary rest regarding health concerns. 343 stood up for Fnatic to replace Mushi in his absence. Since, now Mushi is back to his fitness and plans on returning into the scene after his break, Fnatic management had to take the heavy-hearted decision and underwent a major roster change.

The now effective decision from Fnatic management was to include Mushi and 343 to the starting lineup and Net as a full time Substitute which in turn led to the departure of Net from the roster.

From 343’s perspective

Net’s take on the shuffle

“On The Upcoming Tournament Event, You guys won’t see my name in the Fnatic, I have to thank Fnatic that gave me a chance to learn and also people who support me all time.”

Statement from Fnatic management – Eric “Reinnnn” Khor

“It is with a very heavy heart that we have to announce the departure of Net from our team. Through his time in Fnatic, I have gotten to know him a lot better and also the dedication that he put into the game. Generally a quiet person, it was a refreshing change to see Net went from the introvert that he is into the guy who cracks the joke. It really felt like a family here but we knew the inevitable was coming and someone had to be subbed out. After a lot of discussion, the team decided that Net would be the one to take the back seat. We would have loved him to stay with us but it is understandable that he would want to leave the team to pursue another opportunity. Here, I want to thank Net for all the joyous times and all his hard work. I wish him all the best for his future.”

Wishing all the very best to the players of Team Fnatic and Net for the upcoming major tournaments. We hope to see a stable lineup in near future and some great DotA performances from the team.

#RIPCOD is trending on Twitter; Activision CEO comes to rescue

After EA released some sneak peek of their latest game in the addition to Battlefield franchise, the internet broke and Activison lost. And #RIPCOD set a trend. Doesn’t sound logical? Well..

First of all, let’s be clear, Battlefield vs CallOfDuty has been a long deferred war, each time when Battlefield gets a new release with a trailer, whole of internet breaks apart with #RIPCOD trending all over social networks and people ride on shitstorms talking about how bad CoD would be but it doesn’t right? Every time they tend to sell the game 100x times more than the community projection. In a report and historical data gathered by StatisticBrain, CallOfDuty: Ghosts sold over 16million copies followed by CallOfDuty: Black Ops 3 (released in 15) which sold over 4.5 million copies till date.

#RIPCOD

#RIPCOD

The hashtag #RIPCOD is currently trending on twitter worldwide and it is not just stopping at this. Other than twitter, whole of the Battlefield and CoD players have shown disgraceful feedback towards the launch trailer of CoD: Infinity Ward and the launch trailer now has over 600,000 dislikes which now holds a record for the most disliked game trailer video in YouTube history.

Well, very sure Activision did aim to break and make some records with this game but not in this motion to be subtle. Comments such as ‘you suck’ and ‘fail cod’ are spammed elsewhere the game is discussed. The gamers are so much out of patience with the non-interesting trailer of the game that until now, while writing this piece, the video’s dislikes has taken over the numbers of people with little hopes.

#RIPCOD

Battlefield 1 trailer

The huge storm of dislikes was already underway just after Activision unveiled the trailer; later, to do the honors for phase two, EA released the trailer of Battlefield 1 and it just became everything messy at a different level. Memes, trolls, abuses and what not to defame the whole of franchise.

#ripcod
#RIPCOD Hashtag graph

The level of disagreement and the rage was so strong that it got Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg under the scanner, and while asking about certain questions on the integrity of developing such a mass criticized game, he responded.

First of all, you gotta love the passion of gamers. This is an industry like no other and a fan base like no other. We love that our fans treat this franchise like their own and have such strong points of view about it. There just aren’t many entertainment franchises on earth that can generate the kind of passion that Call of Duty can… and that’s a good thing.

He was also quick to point out how the Black Ops 2 trailer held the previous record of being the most disliked Call of Duty game trailer and it eventually turned out to be the most successful Call of Duty game ever made.

By quickly comparing the current rage with that of its predecessor, he told about how Black Ops 2 trailer held the previous record of being the most disliked game-trailer which eventually turned out to be the most successful Call of Duty game ever produced.

Meet Nvidia GTX 1080, 1070 – World’s most advanced GPU

After months of curiosity, expectations and calculations, Nvidia has held the stir of the speculation and officially announced the arrival of it’s newest series of top performing most advanced GPU, Nvidia GTX 1080, which will be followed by GTX 1070 and probably GTX 1060 / 1050 a bit later on.

Successors to the game-changer and the most successful card series ever for Nvidia, the 980 and 970; the newest series 1080 and 1070 is also being deployed to a similar target by encouraging the hardcore and enthusiastic gamers to go for the Nvidia GTX 1080 and professional gamers and athletes can settle at GTX 1070. The cards, latest addition to the Pasval architect family (2X faster) will be available in the market from 1st week of June, whereas, India might see a slight delay of couple of weeks for the cards to be made available.

NVIDIA GTX 1080

The pricing, however isn’t unexpected. With the features and performance upgrades from its predecessors, The Nvidia GTX 1080 will surely be as powerful and even more comparatively to GTX 980 in terms of sales.

1080 is the new king.
– Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO, Nvidia

Nvidia GTX 1080 which is supposed to be faster than Titan X, is also faster than two GTX 980 cards running together using SLI technology. Like the P100, it’s built with a new 16nm FinFET (a type of 3D transistor) manufacturing process, which makes it more power efficient, on top of just being faster.

Nvidia GTX 1080

Nvidia GTX 1080

The GTX 1080 is the “largest GPU endeavor, largest chip endeavor, largest processor endeavor, in the history of humanity,” said NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. He added that the R&D budget for the new card was “several billion dollars” over the span of more than two years. “I’m pretty sure you can go to Mars [for that],” he said.

Other than the 8GB of GDDR5X RAM and 9 teraflops, Nvidia didn’t release much about the technical specifications of the card, not only 1080, but the 1070 is also supposedly faster than the Titan X in terms of performances and specifications. Professionally for the eSports athletes and the gamers not interested in setting up a giant rig for spaceship operatives, 1070 is a healthy deal as well.

Nvidia GTX 1080 will be available at $599 whereas the GTX 1070 will be coming out at $379. The Indian prices should be around Rs. 54,000 and 34,000 respectively.
