Complexity Gaming co-founder and CEO Jason Lake joins Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including how esports is able to continue holding matches while the rest of the global sports calendar has ground to a halt. Part-owned by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Complexity Gaming is based out of the Cowboys' massive real estate development in Frisco, Texas. Lake talks about how the professional gaming industry might draw new fans as a result of the pandemic. He also discusses providing support for athletes who are competing from their homes, how sports broadcasters can best fill the void in their schedules, and how economics is changing the way people in esports think about the length of a pro career.
