Zaf Baker, One of The Worlds Leading Entrepreneurs and Investors Enters the World Of Esports
Zaf Baker and his brother Adam Baker, Dubai entrepreneurs are confident that their investment in the industry will sky rocket in future years to come.
“We live in a world where not only doctors, lawyers, and businessmen succeed but a world where passion succeeds. Majority of gamers are very passionate and it takes not only hard but smart work too to succeed. It is an ever-growing industry”
“To those who don’t game, it might look like a bunch of running around, no rhyme or reason, lots of shooting, with an eventual score but gaming takes skill, coordination, strategy and very high concentration levels to succeed. You’re always using your brain to develop ways to outsmart and outwit opponents.” Zaf said.
Since 2016, there has been a significant increase in eSports viewers – both occasional viewers and enthusiasts, i.e., viewers who watch it regularly. Between 2018 and 2019, there was a 12.3% increase year over year. In 2019, there were 245 million casual viewers and 198 million enthusiasts, making the total audience 443 million.
By Feb 2020, the year-over-year growth rate had slightly dropped to 11.7%, although that’s still a sizable increase. In 2020, there were 272 million occasional viewers and 223 million enthusiasts. So, the total audience size grew to 496 million, almost half a billion eSports followers.
By 2023, it is expected that the growth rate will be approximately 10.4%. They also expect that the number of casual viewers will grow to 351 million. And that there will be 295 million eSports enthusiasts, making the total audience 646 million where Zaf and Adam will look to profit from their investment.
“10 years ago, being a gamer didn’t matter, you’d be told that you’re wasting your time. So I’m glad to be able to help those who believe that gaming is their future because today it most certainly can be and an exceptionally lucrative one too.”
When asked about their investment partner, Adam Baker replied: “that won’t be disclosed now but I’m sure you’ve seen one of his films or even maybe heard one of his songs.”
