Our take
The eSports market is a tough nut to crack for new entries. Though the space has received billions in investment over the last decade, lots of organizations fall by the wayside in a hyper competitive race for audience engagement. Cloud9 however, is not one of these companies.
The 2013-founded company has grown into one of the world’s leading eSports organizations. Its success thus far owes a lot to the industry knowledge of co-founder and CEO, Jack Etienne, who left another leading organization, Team SoloMid, to start the company.
Perhaps the most interesting recent development at Cloud9 is its partnership with Blockchain.com. This is a further indication of the increasing links between crypto and eSports, due largely to shared participants, that may help Cloud9 in its growth.
