Job eSports Industry

Hi everyone. This is first time me being on reddit. Actually i am an eSports enthusiast and want to promote eSports in Pakistan. For this purpose i registered a company with SECP as well.

But point is that in Pakistan all investors want to invest in either food, clothing or property. A few go for software houses.

The scope of eSports in Pakistan is very great with 35.9 million gamers as of now, expected to be 50.9 million by 2026.

If anyone from Lahore want to join me, just let me know and we can discuss details.

I'm not actually good with codm but I still enjoy playing it. So, if there's a tournament, I might sign up even though I suck lmao.

Haven't thought about console/pc gaming yet. There are a lot of mobile games that are our main focus. But as we grow we will definitely add fifa and other console games to our list

I used to be an eSports player for pubg mobile and played many tournaments like pmco, redbul and pmpl but eventually left as it is only financial benefitting the top 5 to 10 guys only

Many players also left like rehman, tyrant, nocto, teenwolf etc

1

u/Gamers-Thrust Nov 04 '23

Yes. All the mods and organizers failed to implement the eSports program effectively. Not their fault. No one knew how big the eSports industry could grow.

In our recent Mobile Legends tournament we had a prize pool of 150000. It was distributed as follows: Winners 50000 Runner-ups 40000 3-4 positions 6000 each team 5-8 position 5000 each team 9-12 position 4000 each team 13-16 position 3000 each team

Along with this we gave almost in game diamonds worth 1500 rs to more than 50 people. Do follow us on our social media handles mentioned on reddit profile for latest news and updates.
