Adams z\u00c3\u00a4hlt zu den Pionieren des eSports, ist Gr\u00c3\u00bcnder und Vizepr\u00c3\u00a4sident von Turtle Entertainment und hielt F\u00c3\u00bchrungspositionen bei den Branchengr\u00c3\u00b6\u00c3\u0178en ESL und Twitch. Villinger ist CEO des Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn und eines der bekannten Gesichter in der Welt des Venture Capital. Arne Peters, bisher in beratender Position, fungiert ab sofort als Chief Strategy Officer (CSO). Neben den Gremien verzeichnet eSports.com auch Neuzug\u00c3\u00a4nge in der Firmenstruktur: Neben der neuen Influencer Plattform, die gemeinsam mit Rocket Sports in London gegr\u00c3\u00bcndet wurde, erwarb eSports.com einen 19,5 prozentigen Anteil am Asiatischen Entwickler iCandy und erh\u00c3\u00a4lt somit Zugang zum gro\u00c3\u0178en iCandy-Netzwerk mit vielen Millionen Gamern vor allem im asiatischen Raum. Mit der an der australischen B\u00c3\u00b6rse gelisteten Fatfish Internet Group ist der erste asiatische Investor eingestiegen. Esports.com gewinnt einen starken Partner in Asien, der sich auf die Themen Blockchain, Krypto und Gaming spezialisiert. eSports.com CEO Michael Broda kommentiert: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wir sind dabei, die erste globale eSports-Plattform der Welt aufbauen. Ein komplettes \u00c3\u2013kosystem f\u00c3\u00bcr eSports sozusagen, mit allen denkbaren M\u00c3\u00b6glichkeiten der Interaktion und Transaktion f\u00c3\u00bcr alle, die sich f\u00c3\u00bcr Gaming interessieren. Vom Profi bis zur Gelegenheitsspielerin. Die gesamte Plattform wird auf der Blockchain-Technologie aufgebaut. Mit Nik und Tom und mit Arne als CSO sowie mit den j\u00c3\u00bcngsten Akquisitionen kommen wir unserem gro\u00c3\u0178en Ziel wieder einen bedeutenden Schritt n\u00c3\u00a4her. Das Projekt liegt voll im Plan, schon bald werden wir die n\u00c3\u00a4chsten Schritte vermelden k\u00c3\u00b6nnen.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><div class=\"newss-content\" id=\"newss-4214016493\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2582020599\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><div class=\"newss-article-1\" id=\"newss-3332792154\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Homepage2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2582020599\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zuwachs bei eSports.com: Nik Adams, Tom Villinger und iCandy.
