On this episode of the playbook, I have Kristen Kitty Plays McKella,

video game streamer and youtuber, and we are going to talk about the other side of

gaming, the grind of being a professional gamer and what the future looks like in gaming.

Join me for all of this and more on the playbook.

This is entrepreneurs the playbook, where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success and what made them champions on the field and in the board

room. I'm your host and CEO of Sports One Marketing, David Melzer. This day Melter

with Entrepreneurs The Playbook and I have my first streamer.

Kitty Plays is what most people know her as but I actually know her is Kristen Valencheck.

I don't know which one's cooler. They're both great names.

Thank you for different areas of the world. You know you can't go buy a gamer tag as Kristen Malachikic. So well before we started I was talking about you know my experience in technology and sports and I have never seen a wider divide of

awareness of something so big. Right when there's a trend or a new sport you, everybody is talking about fantasy when fantasy came up.

If you said fantasy football, whether they did it or not, they knew what that was.

Right. Well, here's something that's bigger than fantasy football, bigger than all fantasy sports, something called e-ports.

Yes. And it is an extraordinary phenomenon that I believe will be the biggest sport in the world

and that's because it crosses all barriers when I say that you know whether cricket is

large is only large in certain places to certain people.

Soccer even, the biggest sport in the world right now,

is still for certain people in certain places.

Yeah.

E-sports is worldwide and has a connectivity that none of the other sports have ever had.

And that ubiquitous sport is an extraordinary phenomenon.

I want you to explain in your terms
