Twitch, the streaming social media outlet that has already helped put online poker back on the map, announced this weekend its acquisition of GoodGame, a full-service agency dedicated to serving the needs of pro-gamers and brands interested in the eSports sector.

eSports, or competitive video gaming, is expected to have a larger fan base than that of American Football but 2017.  Fantasy eSports has already grabbed hold in the world of online gambling and fantasy sports.

“We’ve been responsible for funneling more than $10 million toward players, teams, tournaments, and other parts of the esports ecosystem,” writes GoodGames CEO Alex Garfield in a letter on the company’s site explaining the sale.
