John V. Whitman Jr., President/Chairman of Sports Venues, had this to say about Shadow Gaming, Inc., "There was never any doubt Sports Venues of Florida would enter the eSports business but the recent Coronavirus Pandemic and the effectiveness of social distancing made the decision to introduce our entry into the eSports market our top corporate objective. eSports provides an exciting, massively growing enterprise better suited for the times we are in. The Company will be announcing much more in the coming days concerning leadership for Shadow Gaming as well as exciting changes and additions to Sports Venues business."

The eSports market was valued at USD $694.2 million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD $2.174 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 18.61% between 2018 and 2023. The eSports market is expected to grow because of various driving factors, such as increasing popularity of video games and growing awareness about eSports.

As competitive gaming cements itself in the popular culture, global investors, brands, media outlets, and consumers are all paying attention. Total eSports viewership is expected to grow at a 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2019 and 2023, up from 454 million in 2019 to 646 million in 2023, per Business Insider Intelligence estimates. That puts the audience on pace to nearly double over a six-year period, as the 2017 audience stood at 335 million. As a result, the industry has seen a huge uptick in investment from venture capitalists, and more recently from private equity firms. The number of investments in esports doubled in 2018, going from 34 in 2017 to 68 in 2018, per Deloitte. That's reflected in the total dollars invested, too: Investments are up to $4.5 billion in 2018 from just $490 million the year before, a staggering YoY growth rate of 837%, per Deloitte.
