The Global Poker Index has made waves in poker, especially with Alex Dreyfus' brainchild, the Global Poker League, as part of its aim to ‘sportify’ poker.
Now, with the growth of esports, Dreyfus, the CEO of Mediarex Sports & Entertainment, explained how the future of the Global Poker Index and the Global Poker League will move beyond poker and include esports.
“For the last two or three years, we’ve tried to bridge the esports vertical, because my team and I believe that one of the angles we can use to promote poker is by focusing more on the competitive gaming element," he said.
