FPT Telecom signs cooperation agreement with Flash team, aiming to become the best Internet infrastructure provider for games in Vietnam
On November 3, 2018, thousands of people showed up at Incheon Munhak Stadium (South Korea) to watch the final of the League of Legends World Championship, an elaborate entertainment event that the book “Understanding eSports” described as “the line between a tournament and a concert has been blurred and the energy cannot be mistaken for anything else.” The final between Invictus Gaming and Fnatic that year attracted a total of 99.6 million views across all platforms - surpassing the views of the 2019 Super Bowl - the final of the American Football Championship (98.2 million).
