Esports will finally have a go-to, trustworthy source for this kind of information.
Tournaments in games like League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, and Street Fighterare broadcast all over the world, sometimes on multiple websites and even on TV. These events generate tons of revenue, making accurate and in-depth analysis of data valuable to many parties.
Nielsen pointed out in its release just how much value these tournaments have and how these numbers are important for investors, advertisers, and participants.
"The playoff rounds of major 2017 esports tournaments measured by Esport24 to date, yielded anywhere from $75,000 to nearly $17 million in sponsorship value, emphasizing the need for standard metrics to help industry players understand the value they are providing, receiving, or missing out on, via brand activations in esports," Nielsen said.
With big brand names like Buffalo Wild Wings, Snickers, and Audi getting into the esports game, the need for concrete data and analysis is important to both advertisers, tournament organizers, and team organizations.
