“It's been a pleasure being a part of DELF 2020 and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share about Riot's vision for mobile esports in Southeast Asia. Events like DELF help drive the industry forward and continue to help companies bridge new partnerships and connections,” said Chris Tran, Head of Esports - Southeast Asia, Hong Kong & Taiwan, Riot Games.
“The key takeaways of DELF have always been about the latest cutting-edge technology globally where there is blockchain gaming or event NFT tokens. Esportification in my perspective will slowly permutate within society. Not only limited to elite gamers that can earn decent income from competitions, but blockchain, especially in e-gaming, will allow people from all over the world to have the opportunity to participate in competitive sports,” said Galen Law-Kun from PwC Crypto Team.
“DELF has proven again to be the reference event in Hong Kong where local and international experts meet to share knowledge about this growing industry of the competitive gaming. Very happy to have been part of this successful event,” said Eduard Castell, Delegate of LaLiga in Hong Kong
