In a very short time, the world has gone from a small group of gamers getting together to play their favourite game, to professional players sitting in a stadium competing, their actions being broadcast for thousands to watch. Lonely gamers have turned from geeks to valuable commodities. The emergence of esports has also brought some interesting legal challenges. Esports and gaming is an intersection of many core legal expertise areas, such as sports, media, technology, advertising and gambling, but requires a unique perspective from a legal point of view. KassaiLaw helps players, leagues and teams understand the legalities of this new field of entertainment, from contracts to endorsements, and advises many clients, such as event organizers or streamers, on intellectual property law, licensing of game play and game content.
