Jaroslav Komkov: Why eSports will beat football and hockey?

E-sports has already earned a place among TOP 7 most popular sports in Russia. What are the reasons for its popularity? What is the difference between players and fans of eSports and those of traditional sports? When eSports will replace football and hockey?

About all these issues Jaroslav Komkov, the head of Cyber.sports.ru, will tell on June 2, 2016 within Russian Gaming Week.

He is an active gamer and has 10 years of experience in Internet companies. Once he was a football fan, but then realized that Dota2 tournaments are more interesting to watch compared to football matches.

In the eSports section of sports.ru he promotes eSports in the country, covering international tournaments, talking about world stars and winning teams.

Jaroslav Komkov will speak at Russian Gaming Week, which will be held for the 10th time already. Leading speakers from different countries within two days will discuss development trends of the betting and online gambling industries.
