Esports, Blockchain and Athletes
09 Septiembre 2019 - 6:00AM
Graph Blockchain Inc. (“
Graph” or
“
Company”) (
CSE: GBLC) recently
announced its intent to acquire Cyberanking Ltd., a company that
uniquely focuses on not only the practical skills development of
aspiring esports athletes but also on their physical and cognitive
health.
Esports has already established itself as a bold and fast
growing industry that, as most market watchers will attest, is
still only in its infancy. Over the past year the space has not
only experienced the buy in from major brands like Coca Cola,
Starbucks, and Red Bull but also a staggering increase in attention
from major sports franchises and owners alike. With higher daily
viewership levels than many pro sports leagues and news networks
it’s easy to understand why big brands are taking note. While
esports is enjoying record new exposure and interest by the
mainstream media in general, it is important to note that often
times the conversation can tend to leave out the needs of the
players themselves.
Unlike professional sports, esports athletes often lack access
to quality and balanced training programs that provide stability
towards securing a long and stable career. Often turning pro by age
17 many esports athletes find themselves retiring much earlier than
their traditional sports counterparts.
“By exploring the opportunities relating to integrating
Blockchain into Cyberanking’s roadmap, not only do we intend to
establish a new standard within esports regarding data integrity
and security but also help provide the market with a service that
puts players and their careers first,” says newly appointed COO
Adam Morrison.
According to a new recently published article, esports is
not only helping players to better their careers but also their
academic lives as well through increased GPA and attendance. With
over 71 percent of K-12 and higher education institutions
contemplating joining the more than one in five schools who
currently have a dedicated esports program in North America, Latin
America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East, the value to
learning institutions is clearly evident.
“With the increased adoption and integration of esports in the
academic world, it’s easy to understand the opportunity we see in
having Cyberanking join the Graph family,” says Jeff Stevens, CEO
of Graph Blockchain.
