The Profit‘s Take:
This is cool, and I’m hopeful that Tony Hawk knows a thing or two about esports. However, I would love to see these small cap public esports companies get away from the press release game and focus on building their businesses. What specifically will Tony be advising on here? What value is he bringing beyond the celebrity announcement?
