The show will bring new insights and conversations with your favourite guests from the Disruptors stage.
Our first guest is Dave Hopkinson, COO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, owners of the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto FC.
I sat down with Dave back in Dec. 2017 after our eSports panel discussion, to chat about all things eSports and to hear how MLSE is helping to professionalize the industry, with the creation of the, “Raptors Uprising” 2K League, one of 17 new NBA eSports teams.
Listen to hear what Dave’s “aha moment” was with eSports, and how MLSE is hoping to capitalize on this highly-disruptive, $1-billion market.
