TK Nguyen is as high energy as the industry he's working in: Esports. As the CEO of GAM Entertainment, TK leads Vietnam's most successful Esports League of Legends team as they continue to represent Vietnam on the world stage. Today, TK tells me about the explosive growth of Esports in Vietnam, and how it's become a legitimate sport and career for Vietnam's young people. He tells me why Esports could be THE thing to put Vietnam on the global entertainment map, and what needs to happen to make this a reality. He breaks down what League of Legends is and why it's so popular in Vietnam: 67% of Esports players choose to play League of Legends and 68% of Esports fans choose to watch it. He also reveals what he's doing with GAM sports on social media to truly connect with Vietnam's Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences.
