TNL Take: What a week for eSports. The biggest news being finally some release of information on Activision-Blizzard’s upcoming Overwatch League which The Next Level will cover next week and look at two areas that I don’t believe have been fully analyzed yet.

This week, 2017 US eSports investment is almost $100M, 60+ brands sponsored eSports in the first of 2017 — which is on pace to double 2016 and China’s Tencent’s limitations on kids mobile gaming.
