The popularity and influence of esports are rapidly growing, and the industry is steadily expanding. It is no longer seen as something for a select group of enthusiasts; instead, it is broadening to become a sport for the masses. Innovation is also on the horizon, as cutting-edge technologies such as metaverses, NFTs, and artificial intelligence are poised for incorporation. While numerous possibilities abound, controversies also persist. Some still view gaming as a 'disease' needing regulations. More recently, there has been a growing concern that the investment and popularity of esports teams are not being translated into commensurate revenue and growth. Alarm bells are sounding, indicating that the industry is headed for a crisis unless a new revenue structure is devised. The trajectory of esports and gaming as a whole raises the question: where is it headed? Michael Chow, former executive producer of the world's most renowned game, League of Legends, is joined by Josh Ahn, COO of South Korea's most popular esports team, T1, in a conversation about the future of gaming and esports. ☆ WKF | http://www.wkforum.org/WKF/2021/kr/ ☆ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/worldknowledgeforum/ ☆ Youtube│https://www.youtube.com/wkforum ✻ World Knowledge Forum's lecture contents are copyrighted by Maekyung Media Group.
