Show Notes:
Esports business Gfinity Australia is ceasing operations in November. Parent company, Here, There and Everywhere (HT&E) have cited difficulty in making this “sustainable,” profitable and getting value in the local market. We discuss if there is a problem with finding value in the esports sector in Australia?
Lifting off from there, Supercars plans to keep investing in their eseries even though their partner Gfinity Australia is ceasing local operations.
We talk through the possibilities of Super Rugby if they decide to offer more matches in front of a paywall and sell direct to fans.
And we revisit Ahmad’s cricket bet from a fortnight ago.
