ePlay Digital (EPY-Cse) Eight Capital and Canaccord Genuity Group are beginning to place bets on the nascent e-sports industry. Number of Canadian independents have begun producing research and hosting conferences on e-sports, a niche industry in which skilled video-game players compete with one another in front of live audiences, both in person and on-line. Although there is currently a dearth of public investment opportunities for those looking to cash in on the e-sports craze, Eight Capital chief executive officer David Morrison says that is about to change. Mr. Morrison says: "There absolutely will be a medley of public plays in e-sports that will be available in the Canadian capital markets in calendar 2019, of various shapes and sizes. We're talking to many of them." Helping early-stage companies in emerging industries access capital has long been the specialty of Canada's independent dealers. The cannabis sector has been a boon to the independents. Eight Capital and Canaccord are hoping that e-sports can provide a new source of underwriting and advisory revenues.
