In 2021, the e-sports industry in Bangladesh grew in popularity, marketing, endorsement, and competition, with tournament prizes gradually rising over the last few years and reaching a minimum of Tk1 lakh for just small-scale tournaments.
And this year, the country saw global tech-giant Tencent follow in the footsteps of Airtel by tapping into the sector, which according to industry insiders can be worth Tk500 crores by 2025, as a sponsor.
Sponsored by China’s Tencent and mobile phone company Infinix, the prize money for the Arena of Valor Bangladesh Championship held at Jamuna Future Park last week was Tk25 lakh
China, one of the world's largest e-sports markets in the world, generated $385 million in 2020 and was estimated to grow at a compounded rate of 17% until 2023, according to Statista
