Seminary – Overview of the Esports Ecosystem

Last Saturday, we had a very special guest from Esports Innovation Group (EIG), Mr. Wen Hann Lim. In the months prior, BINARY’s sister organization, Binus International Esports League (BIEL) worked with ESPL, EIG’s holded group in creating 3 E-Sports series in CS:GO, Valorant, and Dota 2 in that order. As one of the members of EIG, Mr. Hann sat with us in a talkshow along with Vincent and Philip as hosts to talk about E-Sports ecosystem, E-Sports future, E-Sports current trends, old games, and of course Dota 2. In the start of the talkshow, Mr. Hann discussed about what EIG is all about in a presentation slide, what they are doing and what kinds of gaming businesses are they expanding their wings to. He talked about how E-Sports business are in an all time high, especially with mobile gaming as the titan as it is today. Then the talkshow starts. The three talked about the recent Dota 2 tournaments, whether the younger generations should be encouraged to pursue E-Sports as athletes, the future of E-Sports such as the new crypto trend, and even Mr. Hann’s old role in GeekFam. After the talkshow ends, the audience are welcome to chime in with their questions. At the end, Mr. Hann is given a plaque from BINARY as a token of gratitude. After that, we took some pictures and the audience left the zoom with more knowledge of the E-Sports ecosystem.
