Six Golden Opportunities for Esports Apparel

 

PreScouter, a Chicago-based research intelligence company, has published a new Intelligence Brief that identifies existing opportunities in esports apparel and offers insights from top medical professionals working with esports athletes to understand their currently unmet needs.

The gaming industry is larger than ever, bringing in more revenue than the worldwide box office, music industry, NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL combined. However, as noted by Genevieve Engleman, Occupational Therapist and coauthor of the report, ā€œDespite the booming viewership and immense influx of capital into the esports industry, these professionals are currently neglected in terms of their overall health and well-being, which is cutting their gaming lifespans tragically short.ā€

This Intelligence Brief identifies shortfalls in meeting the needs of esports athletes and highlights six golden opportunities for the sportswear, apparel, and tech markets. According to Dr. Daniel Morales, Technical Director of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) at PreScouter and lead author, ā€œThe integration of functionalized apparel that addresses the health and performance needs of esports athletes is in its nascent stages.ā€

To facilitate a deeper understanding of the opportunities for functional apparel and to validate hypotheses generated during the research phase, PreScouter interviewed three medical experts who work directly with esports athletes to understand their unique needs. Their insights are presented through graphic analyses and comments that highlight the specific issues that companies should be paying attention to in order to reap the benefits of the potential revenue from producing products for the esports apparel, sportswear and technology markets.

In addition, the brief profiles what is currently available for these markets as well as how these products are being marketed.

ā€œCompanies that make the effort to truly understand and cater to the functional needs of esports athletics, including the coaches, players, and fans, have a huge opportunity to become a megabrand in a burgeoning industry,ā€ says Daniel Morales.

BASILISK, the global esports organization built to champion science, announced the signing of legendary fighting game competitor Justin ā€˜Jwong’ Wong as captain of its newly formed Fighting Game Community (FGC) Division. Wong will lead BASILISK’s entry into the FGC by recruiting players, developing community events, and creating FGC – science crossover content.

ā€œJustin isn’t just a competitive genius – he is a cultural icon and humble leader within the FGC. We are incredibly proud to have him leading our FGC division and support the amazing work he already does for the community,ā€ said BASILISK co-founder Christopher Bothur.

A nine-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) Champion and Guinness World Record holder, Wong brings unparalleled FGC credibility and expertise to BASILISK. His reach extends across the entire FGC fandom of millions, and he was immortalized in Evo Moment #37 which has over 100 million views.

As Captain of BASILISK FGC, Wong will leverage BASILISK’s data analytics to scout and train the next generation of FGC pros.

ā€œMath is super important to fighting games. I’m excited to join science’s esports team.

I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic,ā€ said Wong upon joining BASILISK.

The signing comes on the heels of BASILISK’s new partnerships with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), announced in July.
