SMG has been at the forefront of other new sectors, having managed several high stakes professional poker players and creating the world’s first million-dollar backgammon event.
Gil Erez, Founder of Esportsranks said “We are very pleased to announce this partnership with Stephen and SMG. As we have seen the Esport audience is growing exponentially year on year, and now with major broadcasters such as ESPN and NBC expanding their coverage, there is only more to come.
